Kelly Meyerhofer reports Exits of UW System president and UW-Madison chancellor create opportunity, uncertainty:
The top two jobs in the University of Wisconsin System are turning over within months of each other next year, a major leadership shake-up that comes on the heels of new chancellors installed during the pandemic at nearly half of the regional campuses and amid a variety of other challenges.
The departures of interim System President Tommy Thompson and UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank in 2022, along with new leaders at five of the 12 other campuses, create opportunities but also some sense of uncertainty, experts say. The timing related to the two leaders’ exits will require close coordination.

Whitewater has two new educational leaders: Henderson, the interim chancellor at UW-Whitewater, and Caroline Pate-Hefty, the superintendent (since 7.1.2020) at the Whitewater Unified School District.
Their situations are unalike: Henderson is a veteran academic serving as an interim leader, while Pate-Hefty is leading a school district for the first time.
