Members of the Board of Regents are meeting to try to pick the next University of Wisconsin-Madison chancellor.

A five-member committee chaired by Madison lawyer David Walsh is trying to reach a consensus on one of four finalists for the top job at the state’s flagship university. Its members are deliberating in a private conference call.

System spokesman David Giroux says the committee and System President Kevin Reilly hope to offer the job to one of the candidates as early as today.

He says it will likely take a few days before a candidate accepts and an announcement can be made.

The finalists are UW Letters and Sciences Dean Gary Sandefur; Michigan economist Rebecca Blank; University of Minnesota vice president for research Timothy Mulcahy; and Cornell University Provost Biddy Martin.
