9-11-19 uw madison says foxconn is slow in fulfilling pledge

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The University of Wisconsin says it has received just $700,000 of the $100 million that Foxconn Technology Group pledged to fund engineering and innovation research on the school’s flagship campus.  A  report Tuesday says progress has been slow since the world’s leading electronics manufacturer made the promise in August 2018.   UW-Madison spokesman John Lucas says there has been “no significant progress in discussions.” The investment has been touted as “the largest research partnership in the university’s history.”   Foxconn declined to comment.
