Amy B. Bogost, President of the Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents, and Jay Rothman, President of the Universities of Wisconsin, have appointed an 11-member Search and Screen Committee to help identify the next UW–Eau Claire chancellor.
Regent Karen Walsh will chair the Search and Screen Committee. Arthur Grothe, Professor of Theatre Arts, will serve as vice chair. Other members of the committee are:
- Shelby Butteris, Administrative Assistant III
- Kent Gerberich, Chief Information Officer, Director of Learning and Technology Services
- Kaitlyn Hevrin, Student Body President
- Stacey Jackson, Associate Professor of Psychology
- Edmund Manydeeds III, Regent
- David Minor, President and CEO, Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce
- Timothy Nixon, Regent
- Tom Palzewicz, Regent
- Amy Traynor, Regent
The Search and Screen Committee has received its formal charge and reviewed search procedures. A team of staff from Universities of Wisconsin Human Resources, the Office of the Board of Regents, and the executive search firm WittKieffer will support the committee throughout the process.
The committee will identify and interview candidates. After the committee has established a list of qualified candidates who merit further consideration, a Special Regent Committee will review candidates forwarded by the Search and Screen Committee, interview finalists, and forward a hiring recommendation for consideration by the Board of Regents. The Special Regent Committee will include Regents Walsh, Manydeeds III, Nixon, Palzewicz, and Traynor and will be chaired by Walsh.
The successful candidate will require the approval of the full Board of Regents.
