A proposal that would have split the University of Wisconsin at Madison from the rest of the system and given the campus greater autonomy as a public authority is no longer under consideration, a state Republican said Thursday, the Associated Press reported. The proposal, supported by Gov. Scott Walker and Chancellor Carolyn A. (Biddy) Martin, was opposed by some who suggested regional campuses would lose political clout if the flagship split off on its own. Ms. Martin told reporters on Friday that she hoped lawmakers would still act on other proposals this summer that would give all of the system’s campuses more autonomy.
