University looks to divide leadership positions

A working group that is examining the reorganization of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s research and graduate education structure proposed a dual leadership plan and a finalized draft report to the University Committee Feb. 14.

The committee’s primary recommendation included creating two separate positions: one for vice chancellor for research and graduate education, and another for dean of the Graduate School.

The group and the committee will present the draft during the Faculty Senate meeting March 3.

The vice chancellor for research would report to Chancellor Rebecca Blank under the potential format, while the dean of the Graduate School would report to the vice chancellor for research and graduate education.

The report contends the structure will "preserve and enhance crucial strengths while enabling flexibility to respond to urgent new pressures and take advantage of emerging opportunities."

After the March 3 meeting, town hall meetings will be held to accept questions and possible revisions to the draft.
