University of Wisconsin-Madison officials declined to release an administrative review that led them to shift the management of a Lake Mendota rescue service scrutinized after the death of a windsurfer in a collision with a rescue boat a year ago. The UW-Madison Police Department announced Wednesday that it had taken over operation of UWPD Lake Rescue and Safety. A rescue power boat run by the program, formerly known as UW Lake Safety, collided with windsurfer and volunteer Hoofers instructor Yu Chen near UW-Madison's Lifesaving Station at 144 E. Gilman St. on May 31, 2017.
