University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly today announced the four finalists who will be considered for the position of chancellor at the UW-Madison.
A 23-member search and screen committee, chaired by UW-Madison professor Marsha Mailick Seltzer, recommended the finalists to Reilly and a special committee of the UW System Board of Regents chaired by Regent David Walsh, a UW-Madison alumnus.
The four candidates will participate in meetings and receptions on the campus from May 12 through May 15, where they will interact with faculty, academic staff, classified staff, students and community members. Reilly and the Regent committee will interview the finalists on May 14. The final appointment of a new chancellor must be confirmed by the full Board of Regents.
The four finalists and the dates of their public receptions in the Main Lounge of the Memorial Union at the UW-Madison are:
- Gary Sandefur, Ph.D., dean of the UW-Madison College of Letters and Sciences; Monday, May 12, from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
- Biddy (Carolyn A.) Martin, Ph.D., provost at Cornell University (New York); Tuesday, May 13, from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
- R. Timothy Mulcahy, Ph.D., vice president for research at the University of Minnesota; Wednesday, May 14, from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
- Rebecca Blank, Ph.D., former dean of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan; Thursday, May 15, 1:30 to 3 p.m.
SBT had reported Tuesday that Sandefur was one of at least four internal candidates being considered for the position.
The person chosen will become UW-Madison's 28th leader, succeeding chancellor John D. Wiley, who plans to retire in September.
