MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Jim Doyle has appointed an Eau Claire lawyer to the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents.
Doyle's appointment of Edmund Manydeeds is being praised by lawmakers from northwestern Wisconsin, who have complained their area lacks adequate representation on the board that governs state universities.
Lawmakers passed a bill last year that would have required at least one regent to come from seven geographic districts of the state. Doyle vetoed the measure, saying governors should have the flexibility to pick the best candidates.
Manydeeds, a trial lawyer who has served on the governor's judicial selection committee, will replace Eileen Connolly-Keesler of Neenah. Her term expires May 1.
Separately, Doyle reappointed Wausau lawyer Mark Bradley to a second seven-year term.
