威斯康星州长埃弗斯解职大学董事会成员尼克松 称其与工作人员发生冲突
威斯康星州州长托尼·埃弗斯13日晚发布声明，解除威斯康星大学董事会成员蒂莫西·尼克松的职务，即刻生效，原因是尼克松在最近一次董事会会议期间与工作人员发生冲突。埃弗斯表示，他将让这一席位空缺，由候任州长戴维·克劳利任命接替人选，接替者将完成尼克松余下的任期，至2031年5月。尼克松被解职的消息于14日对外公布。埃弗斯的任期将于明年1月结束，他在任期尾声作出这一决定。威斯康星大学董事会负责管理全州的公立大学系统，董事会成员由州长任命，成员变动受到州内高等教育界的关注。威斯康星大学系统由分布在全州各地的多所大学组成，董事会对大学系统的预算与政策拥有监督权。此次解职正值威斯康星州政府换届过渡期，克劳利在11月3日的选举中获胜，将于明年1月就任州长。埃弗斯办公室未在声明中披露冲突的具体细节。尼克松对媒体表示，他任职全凭州长决定，对所指冲突不予置评。
Wisconsin Governor Evers Removes University Board Member Nixon, Citing Conflict with Staff
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers issued a statement on the evening of the 13th removing Timothy Nixon from the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, effective immediately, because Nixon had a conflict with staff during the board's most recent meeting. Evers said he will leave the seat vacant for Governor-elect David Crowley to fill, with the appointee serving the remainder of Nixon's term through May 2031. News of Nixon's removal was made public on the 14th. Evers's term ends in January next year, and he made the decision in the final stretch of his term. The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents oversees the state's public university system; its members are appointed by the governor, and changes in membership draw attention in the state's higher education community. The University of Wisconsin System consists of universities across the state, and the board has oversight of the system's budget and policies. The removal comes during the state government's transition period; Crowley won the Nov. 3 election and will take office as governor in January. Evers's office did not disclose details of the conflict in its statement. Nixon told reporters he served at the pleasure of the governor and declined to comment on the alleged altercation.
