A 22-member search and screen committee, chaired by UW-Whitewater professor Jimmy Peltier, recommended the finalists to Reilly and a special committee of the UW System Board of Regents chaired by regent Danae Davis of Milwaukee.
The five candidates will participate in public forums from April 23 to April 30, where they will interact with faculty, academic staff, classified staff, students and community members. Reilly and the Regent committee will interview the finalists in Madison on May 7. The final appointment of a new chancellor must be confirmed by the full Board of Regents.
The finalists are: Nancy Kleniewski, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts; Alfred Guillaume Jr., Ph.D., vice chancellor for academic affairs at Indiana University South Bend; Kenneth Borland, Ph.D., interim president at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania; Richard Telfer, Ph.D., interim chancellor, UW-Whitewater; and John Folkins, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Bowling Green State University Research Institute in Ohio.
The person chosen will become UW-Whitewater¹s 15th chancellor, succeeding Dr. Martha Saunders, who now serves as president of the University of Southern Mississippi.
