Semester that was: Chancellor Rebecca Blank aims to up UW reputation

Aliya Iftikhar:

Chancellor Rebecca Blank arrived at the University of Wisconsin this fall in a time of strained relations between the university and state Legislature.
With goals of increased funding, faculty retention and continuing the Wisconsin Idea, Blank said she came into her position with low expectations for state funding.

Nonetheless, Blank said she would advocate to keep current funding levels and also work to establish good communication and relationships with the Legislature.

Blank also advocated for a balance between affordable higher education and new revenue streams. To do so, she emphasized improving private donor funding.
