Universities of Wisconsin system soon starts search for Chancellor Mark Mone's successor

From the Article:

The Universities of Wisconsin system is getting ready to launch its search for a new chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as Mark Mone prepares to step down from his role next year.

Board of Regents President Amy Bogost said at the board's Sept. 26 meeting that members of a search and screen committee to identify Mone’s successor are expected to be announced in early to mid-October. The Milwaukee Business Journal reached out to the UW System for additional information; no further details regarding the committee were provided.

The composition of the committee is one of the early steps in the UW System’s search for a chancellor.

The committee will include at least three regents who are part of a special regent committee in charge of the selection process for a replacement, as well as five non-regent members who must include at least two faculty representatives, one staff representative from the institution, one student and one community and/or alumni member.

One of the regents will serve as chair of the committee, and one of the faculty members will be selected as the committee vice chair.

The search and screen committee is responsible for conducting interviews of semifinalists before the special regent committee determines the finalists who will be invited to continue in the selection process.

Mone plans to step down from his role effective July 1, 2025. He will return to his professorship with the school’s Lubar College of Business at that time. He took over the position in December 2014 following the departure of the late Michael Lovell, who became the president at Marquette University.

Mone is the ninth chancellor in UWM’s 68-year history.
