威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校公布三名校长候选人：临时校长落选，新校长预计2027年上任
美国威斯康星州麦迪逊消息，威斯康星大学系统 11 月 5 日星期四公布，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校校长一职的三名候选人为：康涅狄格大学校长拉登卡·马里奇，以及伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的拉希德·巴希尔与约翰·科尔曼。临时校长埃里克·威尔科茨不在候选人之列。
三名候选人将于下周在麦迪逊联合会三楼特里普公共厅举行的公开论坛上亮相，均为下午 4 时 30 分开始：巴希尔为 11 月 9 日星期一，科尔曼为 11 月 12 日星期四，马里奇为 11 月 13 日星期五。新校长预计 2027 年上任。威尔科茨自今年 5 月 17 日起担任临时校长，此前校长珍妮弗·姆努金离任前往哥伦比亚大学任职。
威斯康星大学校友咨询委员会 11 月 4 日致信威斯康星大学董事会主席，对临时校长未入选表达不满；《密尔沃基哨兵报》11 月 5 日获得这封信。新校长上任后将面对全美高校共同的动荡：截至今年 2 月，麦迪逊分校已失去至少 2,700 万美元联邦科研经费；2026 年入学的国际学生比 2025 年减少近 1,000 人，学费收入亦随之减少。
University of Wisconsin-Madison Names Three Chancellor Finalists; Interim Leader Left Out, New Chancellor Expected in 2027
MADISON, Wisconsin — The Universities of Wisconsin announced three finalists for chancellor of its flagship Madison campus on Thursday, November 5: Radenka Maric of the University of Connecticut, and Rashid Bashir and John Coleman, both of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Interim Chancellor Eric Wilcots is not among the finalists.
The three finalists will appear at public forums next week at Tripp Commons in the UW-Madison union, all starting at 4:30 p.m.: Bashir on Monday, November 9; Coleman on Thursday, November 12; and Maric on Friday, November 13. A new chancellor is expected to start in 2027. Wilcots has served as interim chancellor since May 17, when outgoing Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin left to lead Columbia University.
A letter sent from a University of Wisconsin-Madison alumni advisory board to the president of the UW Board of Regents on November 4 expressed frustration that the interim leader was not selected; the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel obtained the letter on November 5. The next chancellor will inherit the turbulence shaking universities across the country: as of February, the university had lost at least $27 million in federal research funding, and nearly 1,000 fewer international students enrolled at UW-Madison in 2026 than in 2025, which also means fewer tuition dollars.
