The University of Wisconsin-Madison and a private search firm apologized Monday for mistakenly releasing the identity of an applicant for the school’s top job.
UW-Madison said last week that 55 people had applied to succeed John Wiley as chancellor. The university also released the names of nine applicants it said did not request confidentiality.
Among the names made public was Jorge Jose, the vice president for research at the University of Buffalo in New York.
