The co-chairs of the legislature's Joint Finance Committee named the chair of a task force that will decide whether colleges in the UW System should be granted more flexibilities, Thursday.
UW System Regent Michael Falbo will serve as Chair of the UW Task Force, which will examine the relationship between the state and the UW financial system. It will decide whether UW-Madison should split from the UW System.
Falbo was the former chairman and chief executive officer of the State Financial Services Corporation.
Former student member of the Board of Regents Joe Alexander will serve on the committee. State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, River Falls, state Rep. Steven Nass, R- Whitewater, and state Rep. Pat Strachota, R-West Bend, are also among the 17 members of the committee.
Currently, no employees of UW-Madison have been appointed to the task force.
