After a closed-door meeting Tuesday led by Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman, the regents called for another vote Wednesday evening.
The Universities of Wisconsin Regents nixed a deal that would have OK'd about $800 million for the UW system in exchange for changes to universities' diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
One regent said UW System President Jay Rothman alluded to resignation depending on the outcome of the vote last Saturday.
