Things are about to be getting gay up at University of Wisconsin-Madison:
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is set to become the biggest university with an openly gay leader, according to gay rights advocates who hail the appointment as a milestone for the movement.Cornell University Provost Biddy Martin was recommended Wednesday to be the next chancellor at UW-Madison, a top national research university with 40,000 students.
Martin, the No. 2 official at Cornell since 2000, is a professor of women's studies and German studies and author of the 1995 book Femininity Played Straight: The Significance of Being Lesbian.

If Dr.Martin has a partner she will not be eligible for any sort of benefits such as healthcare. The conservative state legislature will not allow the University of Wisconsin to give the same-sex partners of employees any benefits. There has been lots of coverage about this the past few years.
Interestingly enough, Donna Shalala also was Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and now is at the University of Miami. Wonder when/if she'll come out. Maybe there's something about that position?
As a UW-Madison student, I couldn't be happier!
aaaw! Just as I'm about to enter Cornell she leaves!
