Last week, the State Senate attempted to shed light on why the UW Board of Regents fired its system president, Jay Rothman. My committee heard from two of the regents, but that hearing left as many questions as answers. The regents cited performance reviews and concerns about Mr. Rothman's style, but they had no documentation for the committee. and didn't provide a single note, memo or record to support their decision. Even the smallest private employer has to maintain thorough records for the most routine personnel decisions. (00:24–00:35)
