Gov. Scott Walker announced three
appointments to the UW System Board of Regents Thursday.
Walker named Gary Roberts, Gerald Whitburn and Tim Higgins to the board.
The state Senate must confirm the appointments before the nominees officially become Regents.

Higgins, of Appleton, has own and ran a healthcare management company since 2008. He previously served on the board of directors for the Wisconsin Alumni Association.
The 18-member board consists of 16 members who serve seven-year terms and two student members who serve two-year terms.
