Rambur withdraws chancellor candidacy

Finalist Betty Rambur, the dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Vermont, has withdrawn herself as a candidate to become UW-Green Bay’s fifth chancellor. Rambur cited personal and professional reasons in her decision to withdraw, said Prof. Denise Scheberle, chair of the UW-Green Bay Chancellor Search and Screen Committee. The remaining three finalists—Thomas Olson, Michael Renner and Thomas Harden—had a final round of meetings with UW System President Kevin P. Reilly and a Board of Regents selection committee today (Friday, Dec. 19). A decision on UW-Green Bay’s next chancellor could come shortly after those meetings. The full Board of Regents is expected to act on ratifying that recommendation at a Jan. 16 meeting.
