Wisconsin Right Now:
Amy Bogost, the president of the UW Board of Regents, told a panel of concerned lawmakers that the Regents are “not political hacks,” but revealed that fired President Jay Rothman’s performance review was not documented beyond her own personal notes, which she hasn’t released.
State Sen. Rob Hutton (R-Brookfield) asked Bogost to clarify whether any discussion or improvement requests with Rothman “were put in writing and in file and available.” What was said during any performance review is the matter of heated dispute between Rothman and Bogost. He’s claimed on television that he was caught by surprise to learn that the Regents had lost confidence in him, and disputed Bogost’s claims that he was privy to good-faith discussions about his performance.
