AB371,1,2 1An Act to amend 15.91 of the statutes; relating to: appointment of students to
2the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin System.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides that the governor must appoint one student member to
the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin (UW) System and that the
governor may select this student member from recommendations made by elected
representatives of student governments at institutions within the UW System. This
bill requires the governor to appoint two student members, one of whom must be at
least 18 years old and selected from the students' recommendations and one of whom
must be an undergraduate student who is at least 24 years old and represents the
views of nontraditional students, such as those who are employed or who are parents.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
