The UW System Board of Regents Office of the President underwent several restructuring changes this summer, namely UW System Director of Communication Doug Bradley's and UW System Associate Vice President for Government Relations Margaret Lewis' resignations in mid-May. Special Assistant to the President Laurie Dies also transitioned into her role.
""It's just a restructuring—Laurie's job is being absorbed by someone else,"" Regents President David Walsh said. ""We're cutting back on administrative costs.""
These three positions will be redefined as a Communications and External Relations team comprised of a leader and two special assistants.
This team, according to an Office of the President release, ""will have an opportunity to redefine and revitalize how the university represents itself to the citizens of Wisconsin.""
