The University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Search and Screen Committee will hold three forums over the next week to receive input from the campus community on what characteristics the new chancellor should have.
David McDonald, chair of the Search and Screen Committee, said the committee is looking to use the feedback to form a collective campus vision for who the next chancellor should be.
“I think we’ll also be able to distill some sort of common vision of what it means to be a part of this community that will also give us a way of judging the candidates and how much they measure up to that,” McDonald said.
The committee will also be using methods such as Twitter and a web chat to collect feedback. Opinions on the search can be submitted to Twitter at #uwsearch or by emailing chancellor-search@secfac@wisc.edu.
The committee will identify five qualified candidates in the spring and present the finalists to UW System President Kevin Reilly and a special committee made up of select members of the UW System Board of Regents.
The special committee will then make a single suggestion to the full Board of Regents, which is expected to vote on a final candidate in April.
The three forums will take place Oct. 16 in Room 1325 of the Health Sciences Building from 7 to 8:30 a.m., Oct. 17 in the Plenary Room of Grainger Hall from 2 to 3:30 p.m., and Oct. 19 in Varsity Hall 3 of Union South from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
