UW-Madison Names Three Chancellor Finalists

The University of Wisconsin–Madison named UConn President Radenka Maric and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign leaders Rashid Bashir and John Coleman as finalists for chancellor. The finalists will take part in public forums and interviews with campus and community groups next week; the forums will not be livestreamed, and public feedback will be accepted through Nov. 14. Interim Chancellor Eric Wilcots was not selected, frustrating some alumni. The search follows Jennifer Mnookin’s departure to become president of Columbia University, and the Board of Regents will make the final hiring decision.
