A government and policy research center named after Tommy Thompson may be coming to UW.

California may have Arnold Schwarzenegger — a.k.a. "The Terminator” — as their former governor, but it is former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson who can say, “I’ll be back.” That is because a proposed research center named after Thompson is possibly coming to UW-Madison. The center would focus on government and public policy. It has the support of both Gov. Scott Walker and the UW chancellor.
