Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill directs the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin System to
ensure that any resident of this state who is a high school graduate and who has been
honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces is admitted as an undergraduate
to the center or institution to which he or she applies if he or she applies within 2
years after the discharge. The bill allows the board to require that the student be
admitted on a probationary basis for one semester.
Finally, the bill provides that if the board restricts the number of students who
may be enrolled at any institution or center, the veterans admitted under the above
provision are excluded from that restriction.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
