UW-Madison will face stiff competition for the best national candidates as it searches for a new chancellor, according to higher education experts. That?s because an ?extraordinary? number of similar universities also are looking for new leaders, said Jan Greenwood, a search consultant who specializes in university presidencies. Finding the right candidate is important because university presidents must be able to fill a range of roles: CEO and academic, politician and cheerleader, public speaker and master fundraiser.
