U-W System Will Not Add Faculty to Presidential Search Committee

The University of Wisconsin System is not going to add faculty members to its presidential search committee.  Regents says they’re sticking with the nine people named to pick a replacement for President Ray Cross.  Faculty members from all 13 U-W campuses wrote to regents, demanding a seat on the committee.  Board of Regents President Drew Petersen says the current and former regents and administrators on the search committee have a diverse view that can help find a new system president.  This is the first time no faculty or academy staff members will be involved in the search.
