Economist Michael Knetter, Ph.D., who speaks annually at the Northern Trust Economic Trends Breakfast presented by Small Business Times, is among at least four internal candidates who have been nominated to apply to be the next chancellor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
Knetter has been the dean of UW School of Business and a professor of finance, investment and banking since July 2002.
Sources told SBT this week that Knetter was interviewed last week for the position. The other internal UW candidates for the position include: Patrick Farrell, Ph.D., provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs; Richard Moss, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Physiology; and Gary Sandefur, Ph.D., dean of the College of Letters and Science.
