MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s top Republican lawmaker says he is finished negotiating with the Universities of Wisconsin over a deal that would have given the university system’s employees a pay raise and paid for the construction of a new engineering building in exchange for reductions in staff positions focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. The UW Board of Regents rejected the deal in a hastily called special meeting on Saturday. It scheduled a closed-door meeting for Tuesday. Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Monday that he hopes the regents will reconsider, but that he’s not open to making any changes.
