Milwaukee journalist Alan Borsuk joins Marquette Law School
Senior Fellow in Law and Public Policy will write on legal and public policy issues
Longtime Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Alan J. Borsuk will join Marquette University Law School, effective Nov. 2.
As a senior fellow in law and public policy, Borsuk, who left the newspaper in July after 37 years, will investigate and report on regional, national and international matters that have become the focus of Law School efforts in teaching, research, conferences, lectures and public service activities.
“In our changing media world, we want to ensure that Marquette Law School has the opportunity to provide background and insight on the important issues facing our community,” Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney said. “Alan Borsuk’s knowledge of this region, with all its challenges and opportunities, together with his journalism skills, makes him a welcome addition to the Law School,” he continued. Kearney also said Borsuk will have the freedom to pursue areas of interest to both himself and faculty members, including education, criminal law and the public service work in which Marquette Law School is engaged.
Borsuk will write for the Law School faculty blog and magazine, as well as the Web site and other publications. He will also work with Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy, who has been with the Law School since 2007.
Borsuk, 59, said he expects to continue to contribute a Sunday column on education, his beat for the past 10 years, to the Journal Sentinel. Borsuk began his career at the Wisconsin State Journal and graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. A winner of numerous journalism awards, he is also an active leader in Milwaukee’s Jewish community, serving as president of the board of governors of the Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study, founding president of Yeshiva Elementary School, and former member of the board of directors of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation.
