Former University of Wisconsin student Alec Cook plans to appeal his expulsion from the university to the Board of Regents after Chancellor Rebecca Blank rejected his appeal.
In an article from WKOW, Jessa Nicholson, one of Cook’s lawyers, said Blank rejected his appeal Monday.
Cook, initially arrested in October, currently faces 23 counts of criminal charges in relation to 11 women. His charges are as follows:

- Seven counts of second-degree sexual assault
- Three counts of third-degree sexual assault
- Two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault
- Two counts of strangulation and suffocation
- Three counts of false imprisonment
- Two counts of stalking
- Four counts of disorderly conduct
According to Student Academic Disciplinary Procedures, “the Board of Regents may, at its discretion, grant a review upon the record.” But institutional decisions after the appeal of the chancellor are final.
Cook is currently living in his native Minnesota while he is out on a $100,000 bail.
