UW-Milwaukee chancellor to quit; he was panned for handling of anti-Israel protests

Another moral coward bites the dust. [IsraelTimes] Mark Mone says he’ll step down next summer, in ‘personal decision’; Jewish groups have criticized him for striking deal with encampment leaders, agreeing to mull Israel divestment
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone announced Wednesday that he plans to step down next summer, a move that comes after years of grappling with the UW system’s financial woes and taking criticism that he mishandled pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel protests this spring on the US campus.
Mone said in a post on the social platform X that he will resign as leader of the Universities of Wisconsin’s second-largest campus effective July 1, 2025. He said he will move into a teaching role at the university’s business school. He didn’t elaborate on why he has chosen to step down.
Asked for an explanation, UW-Milwaukee spokesperson Angelica Duria said in an email to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named: "It was a deeply personal decision for Chancellor Mone and for him, it is the right time."
Mone has served as chancellor at UW-Milwaukee since 2014.
He took pointed criticism from Jewish groups in May after he reached a deal to end an anti-Israel campus protest. The dayslong demonstration was part of a nationwide protest movement on college campuses against Israel over its war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, which critics have said frequently featured overt antisemitism and support for terror.
The university agreed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, condemn the destruction of universities in Gaza — which Israel says were used for terror purposes — discuss the possibility of UW-Milwaukee’s foundation cutting ties with Israeli companies, review the university’s study abroad programs, and not issue citations or conduct violations against student groups involved in the protest.
The Milwaukee Jewish Federation, Hillel Milwaukee and the Anti-Defamation League all accused Mone of giving in to the protesters.
Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman took Mone to task over the deal as well, posting on X that campuses need to remain viewpoint-neutral and make sure actions on campus have consequences.
Like all chancellors across the Universities of Wisconsin system, Mone also struggled with financial problems brought on largely by declining enrollment and relatively flat state aid. Shrinking enrollment has forced UW officials to close or announce plans to close six two-year branch campuses around the US state since 2023. Among those schools is UW-Milwaukee’s Waukesha campus, which is set to close after the spring 2025 semester. Ten of the UW system’s 13 four-year universities faced deficits last year, with UW-Milwaukee facing the largest shortfall at $18.8 million.
The school announced plans this past January to sell the chancellor’s residence to help close a projected $18.8 million deficit. The residence remains on the market for $1.2 million, according to a Powers Realty Group listing. The school also has eliminated nearly 90 positions.
Financial data UW system officials presented to regents earlier this month show six universities face deficits over the coming academic year. UW-Milwaukee is expected to finish in the black.
Democratic Governor Tony Evers has said he plans to ask the Legislature for $800 million for the system in his next budget, but if Republicans maintain control of both the Assembly and Senate in this fall’s elections it’s almost certain they won’t hand the system that much money.
