The University of Wisconsin-Madison released a formal position description for the university’s next chancellor on its Human Resources website Wednesday.
The position listing includes a number of desired qualities in the next chancellor, such as a commitment to shared governance and creating a diverse campus environment.
Additionally, the description requests an individual prepared to bring the university forward through tough economic times in higher education by utilizing innovative education and revenue resources.
The Chancellor Search and Screen Committee convened in early October to begin receiving applications and nominations for the next leader of Wisconsin’s flagship university.
By March, the committee will recommend at least five finalists to a special committee of UW System regents and UW System President Kevin Reilly. This special committee will then present one candidate to the full Board of Regents for approval in April.
The university is hoping the new chancellor will take over for Interim Chancellor David Ward in July 2013.
According to the listing, candidates must apply by Dec. 21 to ensure their consideration for the position.
