What do University of Wisconsin-Madison employees want in the new chancellor who will replace John Wiley when he steps down in September?
Some answers came in a public forum conducted by the chancellor search committee this morning at the Health Sciences Learning Center — though frigid temperatures, icy roads and a 7 a.m. start time limited attendance.
Kurt Zimmerman, an academic staff member in the School of Medicine and Public Health, said the committee should seek a campus leader who can improve legislative relations to correct a sometimes combative relationship with state legislators who control part of the university’s budget.
