Submit a question

The search committee is soliciting community questions for the candidates: Submit your question. Question submission will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Note: Not all questions will be used.

Information on each finalist will be available at the Chancellor Search page in advance of the sessions. Updates will be shared as information becomes available.

A new chancellor is expected to start in 2027. A 23-member search committee, chaired by search co-chair and past Board of Regents President Amy Bogost, was appointed in April.
