The Wisconsin state Senate confirmed Milwaukee banker Michael Falbo as a UW System regent Tuesday, replacing former Regent Gerard Randall, who refused to step down after Gov. Jim Doyle rescinded his position in 2003, the Associated Press reported.
The state Senate refused to confirm Falbo in 2004, as it was Republican controlled, so Randall stayed on as a regent.
The now-Democratically controlled Senate officially confirmed Falbo Tuesday.
Randall was the only regent to not oppose the constitutional amendment on gay marriage at the Board of Regent's formal decision in October 2006 to formally and publicly oppose the amendment.
