HeadlineWisconsin Public Radio, 8/15/2024
For decades, tenure has been a coveted status for professors that meant job security and academic freedom. But under former Gov. Scott Walker, tenure protections from state law were stripped in 2015. 
The Board of Regents replaced the law the following year, adding program elimination as a reason to lay off tenured faculty. That is how [outgoing chancellor Mark] Mone is justifying these layoffs.
