"I'm pleased to appoint Joshua to the UW System Board of Regents," Walker said. "The student's perspective is especially vital to the effectiveness of the Board of Regents, and I know he will serve the UW System and his fellow students well."

"His nomination has been withdrawn," Walker's press secretary Tom Evenson confirmed Thursday morning. Evenson did not immediately respond to questions about the reason for the withdrawal of Joshua Inglett's name.

Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton), a member of the Universities and Technical Colleges Committee, said he was stunned Walker was withdrawing Inglett's name.

"At some point, Scott Walker has got to let this stuff go," Erpenbach said. "He's a sitting governor picking on a college kid. It's not going to reflect well on him at all. "Governing by paranoia is not going to get us anywhere."
