MADISON, Wis. — The UW System is reviewing communications involving UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank after reports that she kept those discussions last fall out of the public eye, according to a spokesperson. In response, Blank is apologizing for the ‘appearance’ of skirting public record laws last fall during Big Ten discussions about a return to campus and football season plans. The announcement comes in the wake of a Washington Post report that Blank worked with other Big Ten presidents and chancellors to try to keep communications private using a third-party platform. Big Ten was the first of the major college conferences to announce a delayed season, but reversed that call a month later after public controversy and pressure from President Donald Trump.
