2. Charge to the Committee
President Reilly read the charge to the committee. In the charge he told the
committee that their primary responsibility is to conduct a national or international
search for a diverse pool of well-qualified candidates. At least five candidates shall
be selected from this pool in unranked order and forwarded to President Reilly and
the Special Regent Committee. This unranked list should include the strengths and
weaknesses of each candidate.

3. Review of Search and Screen Process
a. Search Process
 Solicit campus and community input. This is an important step because it
shows that the committee is listening to the campus and community.
 Chuck Bunting from the consulting firm of Storbeck/Pimental and Associates
will be working with the committee to help find qualified candidates and
resolve differences among the committee members.
 A web site and print media should be set up very soon. The public should be
directed to the web site for information.
 While many candidates will come from nominations, the committee should
use their networks and contacts to encourage potential candidates to apply for
the position.
 President Reilly and the Special Regent Committee will periodically contact
Mark Schwartz, Chair of the UWM Chancellor Search Committee, to offer
help and support. President Reilly said that he will help get qualified people
into the pool of candidates.

b. Screen Process
 The selection criteria screen will be based on the announced qualifications in
the position description. Look for inconsistencies and gaps in the candidates’
resumes.
 Conduct reference checks of candidates by using the list that the candidate
provides. Off-list reference checks will be conducted later in the process.
 Use roll call voting process for selecting candidates.
 First interview round will consist of 10-12 candidates. This list will be
confidential. The five finalists will be publicly announced.
 Look at a potential candidate’s academic values. Consider if their
commitment to quality education has a narrow or broad view and will it
complement UWM’s vision. The candidate must be a good fit internally (the
campus constituency) and externally (the community) including:

• a positive commitment to diversity and inclusiveness and be able to bring
  more diversity to UWM;


• management skills, with an understanding of a complex organization and
  be able to keep harmony as projects move forward;


• leadership skills, with the ability to move to the next mountain top and
  have the support of campus and community;


• stamina, and a sense of humor; and


• commitment to public service and understand that everything is open to
  public scrutiny.

 The UWM search committee should have their work done by April 2011. The
Special Regent Committee and President Reilly will recommend a candidate
to the BOR. The BOR will vote to appoint the new chancellor. The goal will
be to announce a new chancellor by spring 2011 and in place by July 1, 2011.
c. Tips and Advice
 It is important that the search committee understand the job of the chancellor.
The chancellor must relate from the vantage point of all faculty, staff, and
students. The committee members must rise above the positions they hold
and understand that the chancellor will represent the entire campus.
 Legal issues. M Schwartz has information on the open meeting law and has
discussed it with A. Crist. It is important that the committee be aware when
they are in open meeting and closed meeting. Information about candidates is
confidential until the five finalists are named. If disclosure of candidates is
given too early, it will result in the loss of candidates and weaken the pool. It
will also give UWM the reputation of leaking information. C. Bunting added
that the committee needs to be open with each other within the rubric of
confidentiality in order to protect the committee and its function.
 It will be very helpful to have one person as a point of contact with the press.
Committee members may politely refer the press to M. Schwartz.
 Salary and fringe benefits were discussed. The salary range is $297,000 to
$363,000. In the past the foundation has contributed to the salary. Fringe
benefits will include a housing allowance, leased automobile, and a fund for
official functions. Spousal or partner appointment as chancellor associate is
unpaid.
 UWM pays for the chancellor search
