Candidate pool for UW System leader draws some criticism

The head of one of Texas’ smaller, lesser-known university systems. The chancellor of Wisconsin’s university extension. The newly minted second-in-command at the State University of New York. And a former U.S. congressman with strong Wisconsin ties but no doctorate.

One of these folks, or maybe someone else, will be the next president of the 26-campus University of Wisconsin System. The list of finalists is expected to be released today.
