(Wisconsin Radio Network) Governor Tony Evers appoints three new members to the UW Board of Regents.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the Democratic governor has appointed Tom Palzewicz, Linda Terwilliger and Noah Fritz to fill vacancies created by terms ending for the last three regents appointed by former Republican governor Scott Walker.

Evers says the appointments come at a critical time, calling this a make-or-break moment for the Universities of Wisconsin and institutions of higher education across the state.

Palzewicz and Terwilliger’s terms end in 2032, Fritz’s will end in 2027. State law requires the UW Board of Regents to be made up of at least one member from each of Wisconsin’s congressional districts.
