MADISON, Wis. (AP) A regent involved in the failed University of Wisconsin-Parkside chancellor search says he and his colleagues routinely lack enough information to make good hiring decisions.

Regent Michael Falbo says regent committees recommend who to hire for top campus jobs after interviewing the finalists for about 45 minutes each. He says that's not enough to make informed decisions.

He told his colleagues Friday during a meeting in Stevens Point, "I think we all know we are not prepared when we are called on to do that job — enough."

The regents are talking about improving the process they use to search for chancellors after the candidate hired at UW-Parkside resigned because he was under federal investigation.
