With the state cutting funding to the UW system and the restructuring of the tenure system, APA asked, “What are the effects?”

On Friday, the Faculty Council of Senators of the University of Wisconsin Colleges became the latest institution to endorse a resolution of no confidence in UW System President Ray Cross and the Board of Regents.

Host Patty Peltekos sits down with guests Karma Chavez and Holly Hassel to discuss the departure of tenured professors, shifts in shared governance, recent changes to tenure, and more.

Karma R. Chavez is a tenured associate professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison’s Department of Communication Arts, founder of the Queer Migration Research Network, and author of the book “Queer Migrations Politics.” She is also the Wednesday host of APA. She will be leaving the UW-Madison for the University of Texas- Austin.

Holly Hassel is a professor of English and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin Marathon County in Wausau. She is the chair of the UW Colleges Women’s Studies program and the college’s faculty senate representative.
