If you follow the UW-Madison chancellor search, you've now heard from all three finalists. UConn President Radenka Maric made her case Friday, stressing research, affordability and student support.
“I had the honor to meet your late Chancellor Rebecca Blank, who became my mentor.”
Radenka Maric, University of Connecticut president
She joins Rashid Bashir and John Coleman, both of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, as finalists named Nov. 5. A special regent committee will send a recommendation to the Board of Regents, which makes the final hiring decision. The search follows nearly 10 months without a permanent chancellor, and the College of Letters and Science Board of Visitors wrote to the regents' president to object that Interim Chancellor Eric Wilcots was left out.
