A reminder from UW-Madison today as uncertainty continues: Don't use your UW email address to share a petition, contact a legislator for political purposes, etc.

Want to read the final report from the Lakeshore Path study? You can find it here: @UWMadison says "no decisions or plans have been made and there is not a timeline for decisions or actions at this time."
UW-Madison is studying options to potentially pave and light and section of the Lakeshore Path. There's still time to share your feedback.

At the end of interviews, journalists often ask sources if there's anything else they'd like to add. Marissa Bode gave one of my favorite responses yesterday. "Stream 'Wicked' on all platforms for clear skin," she said. "Stream it for the best ... time of your life. And slay."
Marissa Ward, who's originally from Dane County and plays Nessarose in the blockbuster film "Wicked," spoke @UWMadison last night. @captimes interviewed Bode ahead of the event.

The 4th and final candidate - Nicole Waldner, assistant chief at Milwaukee PD - is scheduled to visit campus Friday. The other finalists include: -UWPD Interim Chief Brent Plisch -SIU Police Chief Benjamin Newman -N.C. A&T State University Deputy Police Chief Bobby Cuthbertson
UW-Madison has narrowed down the candidates in its search for a new campus police chief. Among the finalists: Interim chief Brent Plisch, who oversaw UWPD's response to the pro-Palestinian encampment. Also, a former UWPD officer. My latest for @CapTimes.

UW-Madison's chancellor hoped to have a plan by early this year for initial steps to improve the Black community on campus. That timeline is likely delayed, though, after a shakeup in leadership. My latest for @CapTimes
