UW System Board of Regents President John Robert Behling formed a workgroup to explore streamlining the hiring process for System and institutional leadership. The group will also consider options to increase the number of applicants from non-academic backgrounds.
The administrative hiring workgroup is charged with reviewing the current process by which university chancellors, provosts, vice chancellors, and System presidents and vice presidents are hired. As part of the process, the group will review hiring practices in other states and examples of non-academic executive level hires at other universities.
