A Madison Gas and Electric outage at 11:15 a.m. knocked out power to several UW buildings, including the one that houses its primary data center, said Brian Rust, spokesman for the university’s Division of Information Technology. The outage was resolved in less than an hour, but the headaches for DoIT and others on and off campus lasted much longer. Also: UW-Madison faculty who want to weigh in on new layoff protections for tenured professors will have the opportunity to do so at three public meetings about the proposal this week.
