A beautiful night for the unveiling of the Vel R. Phillips sculpture outside of the Wisconsin State Capitol. Vel was a trailblazer: first African American female to graduate from @WisconsinLaw and to hold statewide public office in the U.S. An incredible role model and leader!

Along with @uwcdo and other leaders, I recognize the great pain that a disturbing, hateful video has caused in our Badger community. We stand resolutely against racism and commit to doing the important and continuing work to make UW welcoming to all. news.wisc.edu/condemning-rac…

Big congratulations to Karl Scholz on this exciting opportunity for him to lead @uoregon. He has been a strong leader at @UWMadison and I personally will very much miss his thoughtful counsel and warm presence -- but I'm also so pleased both for him and for the Ducks!
We are excited to share John Karl Scholz, a distinguished economist, professor, and higher education leader, has been named the 19th president of the University of Oregon. uoregon.edu/president-19?utm…
