The UW System, as a preeminent institution in US higher education, is enormously successful in contributing to life in Wisconsin. Despite this record, Gov. Scott Walker and the Board of Regents are convinced the system now needs a different type of leadership, one that will manage it in a more business-like fashion. Their latest move is to truncate the search process when recruiting top-level administrators (President, Chancellor, Provost, Dean), both by shortening the recruitment time and by reducing the participation of faculty and staff on search committees.
