MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh provost Lane Earns will likely be UW-Parkside's interim chancellor while the school conducts a second search for a leader.

UW System President Kevin Reilly says Earns will start leading the school in Kenosha in late August if approved by the Board of Regents.

Chancellor Jack Keating was supposed to retire Aug. 1 but agreed to extend his tenure by one month to aid the transition.

The first search for Keating's replacement ended with the hiring of University of Louisville dean Robert Felner.

He resigned the appointment after notifying Reilly he was facing a federal criminal investigation. He has denied wrongdoing through his lawyer, who says the probe is looking into the use of grant money.
