The Badger Herald: System looks to improve chancellor searches

Following a failed chancellor search at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, a consultant released a range of suggestions Friday for the system to improve future searches.

After UW System officials discovered that Robert Felner, the candidate slated to be UW-Parkside’s new chancellor, was under federal investigation for allegedly misappropriating funds during his previous position at the University of Louisville, they decided it was time to investigate ways to prevent such issues from occurring again, said UW System spokesperson David Giroux.
