Process of Finding a New UW System President

from Wisconsin's Midday News

UW Board of Regents Chair of the UW Presidential Search Committee Dr. Ashok Rai talks about how the committee will incorporate feedback from students, faculty, and staff across all 13 campuses, not just UW-Madison. How does he work to manage differing priorities of a 25-person committee? Is there a specific, actionable timeline for the committee to begin reviewing candidates? Does the relationship between the UW System and leaders in state government need mending? Is that a critical component of the job for whoever is selected? Is it important that steps in the process are transparent? How do you ensure that? How do you weigh the importance of identifying a candidate who is more connected to education in this country?
