Search and Screen for New UW Chancellor


Dear Students,

Today, Chancellor John Wiley announced he will be stepping down from his post as chief executive officer of the University of Wisconsin in September 2008. I congratulate him on a most distinguished career. Despite many fiscal challenges, he helped elevate UW's status as a global leader in research and teaching.

Many students already have contacted ASM Shared Governance inquiring about the search and screen committee for the new chancellor. As per usual, we will hold an open search process for the student appointees. Once we hear from administration, we'll post an announcement here. Stay tuned.

Jeff

fantastic opportunity to find someone who will relentlessly lobby the legislature to keep tuition down.

Tuition doesn't have to stay down -- financial aid needs to go up.

11:49...agreed. If we want to maintain the high quality of this university while the legislature keeps cutting budgets, tuition HAS to go up.

students who can afford to pay more, will. and student who can't, won't have to. so sick of the tuition freeze argument...it hurts the UW.

The Associated Students of Madison Shared Governance Committee Blog serves as a space for shared governance appointees and the UW-Madison student body to communicate on issues relating to shared governance. As part of their responsibilities as student representatives, appointees will post a report following each meeting attended.
