UW System President @RayWCross continues his dishonesty as shared governance and tenure are stripped
I recall when Cross was appointed. There just was something I did not like. As time went on--I was right (unfortunately).

Rebecca Blank: Ray Cross’ 180 on tenure undercuts credibility of Board of Regents

UW System President Ray Cross’ about-face on a campus-specific tenure policy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison makes the Board of Regents look bad, abets faculty seeking extreme provisions and potentially delays adoption of a policy, threatening faculty recruitment, said Chancellor Rebecca Blank.
Cross also undermined her ability to broker agreement on tenure issues among UW-Madison faculty, Blank said in an Oct. 22 email to Regent John Behling.
Behling chairs a task force working on a system-wide tenure policy to replace the protections in state law wiped away in Gov. Scott Walker’s biennial budget.
“We were assured by Ray and others that Madison could write policies, which would be reviewed by the BOR (Board of Regents) for approval,” Blank wrote to Behling.
Blank was responding to a memo from Cross last week that said regents “will not be in a position to approve campus-specific” policies until they adopt system-wide policies. And then campus rules will be considered within the “controlling limits of system-wide policies.”................
