MADISON, Wis. – When searching for top officials at the University of Wisconsin, don’t forget to Google them.
That’s one piece of advice contained in a report to the UW Board of Regents released Friday on how to improve its searches for new chancellors and others in leadership positions.
University President Kevin Reilly asked for the review after a failed search for a new chancellor at the Parkside campus. The candidate a search committee selected, former University of Louisville dean Robert Felner, resigned before taking over after news broke that he was the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
