A growing chorus of voices is calling for David Ward to remain as interim chancellor of UW-Madison for another year, a move that would delay the search for a permanent new chancellor until the 2012-13 academic year. After a committee of faculty leaders last week requested Ward?s one-year appointment be extended, governance groups for academic staff and students have also come out in favor of the extension. University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly said he is still listening to people?s opinions on the issue and needs to consult with UW Board of Regents leadership, but said he hopes to make a decision by the first week in October.
