âI regret the language I used in my email exchange with other Big Ten chancellors, which appears as though I intended to use the Big Ten board portal to skirt my public records responsibilities,â Blank said in a statement to the Wisconsin State Journal. âThis was surely not my intention and I apologize for that appearance.â

Six years later, community still seeks justice for Tony Robinson
Six years ago this March, Matt Kenny, a Madison Police officer, shot and killed Sharon Irwin-Henry’s grandson in a house on Williamson Street. The killing of Tony Terrell Robinson attracted national attention, and Robinson’s name still echoes throughout Madison to this day.
“Before Terrell died, all of these people were getting killed, all these Black men were getting killed, by police officers,” Irwin-Henry told WORT, “And I sat in my house and I said, ‘Oh, that’s just too bad, but it will never happen here.’
And it did. And it happened to my family.”
