Legislative Audit Bureau
January 12, 1996
The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed a review of the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc., for the 1993-95 biennium, as required by s.39.15, Wis. Stats. State funds paid to the Medical College for tuition aid totaled $8,042,527 for the biennium, during which the College also received $6,651,300 for the development and operation of its family practice residency program, and $403,000 in matching funds for the federal Area Health Education Centers project.
Our review included tests to ensure that the Medical College has complied with statutory requirements set forth in ss.
39.15 and
39.155, Wis. Stats. We reviewed the residency and enrollment status of the students claimed for tuition aid to determine whether they were certified Wisconsin residents, had been charged appropriate tuition, and had not been claimed for aid payments for more than four years. We also reviewed whether the Medical College gave first preference in admissions to Wisconsin residents and promoted minority students access. We found the Medical College was in compliance with the statutory requirements.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by Medical College of Wisconsin administrators and the staff of the Higher Educational Aids Board during this review.
Sincerely,

The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed a review of the dental education contract between the State of Wisconsin and the Marquette University School of Dentistry for the 1993-95 biennium, as required by s.
39.46, Wis. Stats. State capitation funds paid to the Marquette School of Dentistry for tuition aid totaled $2,300,000 for the biennium.
Our review included tests to ensure that the Marquette University School of Dentistry has complied with contract and statutory requirements set forth in s.
39.46, Wis. Stats. These tests included reviewing the residency certification and enrollment status for a sample of students claimed for tuition aid, the admissions preference given to Wisconsin residents, and the promotion of minority student access. We found that Marquette University was in compliance with s.39.46, Wis. Stats., and that the state funds were expended only for the undergraduate dental school program, as required by statute.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by Marquette University administrators and the staff of the Higher Educational Aids Board during this review.
Sincerely,
