Wiley named interim director of Wisconsin Institute for Discovery
Outgoing UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley has been named interim director of the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, the public half of the now-under-construction research center that will include private collaboration and interdisciplinary science.
Wiley announced late last year that he would step down as chancellor Sept. 1, and Carolyn "Biddy" Martin has been appointed to take his place.
He will start his new post Nov. 1, taking over from Marsha Mailick Seltzer, who has guided the development of the Institute for Discovery for almost two years in addition to her duties as director of the University of Wisconsin's Waisman Center.
Wiley will also be a professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis and the LaFollette School of Public Affairs, according to a news release from the university. He also plans to continue research on policy-related matters, including the finance and economics of higher education.
