Fired Universities of Wisconsin president says he was 'blindsided' and still hasn't been given a reason | Fortune
""Absolutely I was blindsided. I asked for reasons why. They were not able to articulate any.""
""We'll have to see how circumstances develop. I don't think it's likely that I would go in that direction. That's not who I am.""
""The Universities of Wisconsin must be led with a clear vision that both protects and strengthens our flagship, supports our comprehensive universities and ensures we are meeting the evolving needs of our students, workforce and communities across all 72 counties.""
Jay Rothman was unexpectedly fired as the President of the Universities of Wisconsin by the board of regents. He expressed feeling blindsided by the decision and stated he has not received any reasons for his termination. Despite considering retirement, Rothman chose not to pursue that option due to the lack of explanation from the regents. Regent President Amy Bogost emphasized the need for clear leadership to meet the evolving needs of students and communities. Rothman remains frustrated with the board's lack of communication.
