Citing his age and timing that would benefit a successor, University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor John Wiley said today that he will leave his post in September 2008.
Wiley, 65, is the chief executive officer of the campus and is responsible for programs and laying out a direction for the school. He has been at the helm of the Madison campus for six years, and plans to return to the faculty after he steps down, though he is not sure which field he would enter.
