The Capital Times: New interim UW-Parkside chancellor endorsed
University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly announced Wednesday that he will recommend Lane Earns as the interim chancellor for UW-Parkside.
Earns has spent 21 years at UW-Oshkosh in a range of leadership positions.
University of Louisville Dean Robert Felner was hired in June to be UW-Parkside’s next chancellor, but then resigned the appointment after his lawyer disclosed he is at the center of an investigation into whether $500,000 in federal grant money was mishandled.

MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh provost Lane Earns will likely be UW-Parkside’s interim chancellor while the school conducts a second search for a leader.
UW System President Kevin Reilly said Earns will start leading the school in Kenosha in late August if approved by the Board of Regents.
Chancellor Jack Keating was supposed to retire Aug. 1 but agreed to extend his tenure by one month to aid the transition.
The first search for Keating’s replacement ended with the hiring of University of Louisville dean Robert Felner.
He resigned the appointment after notifying Reilly he was facing a federal criminal investigation. He has denied wrongdoing through his lawyer, who said the probe is looking into the use of grant money.
