Former UW Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank dies

February 20, 2023 By Bob Hague

Blank announced last year that she would not be taking that position after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin said Blank was “a brilliant leader” who cared deeply about the UW.
