Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, there exists a compensation plan for University of
Wisconsin (UW) senior executives. There are currently six university senior
executive salary groups, with the following positions assigned to each salary group:
1. The positions assigned to university senior executive group (USEG) 1 are the
chancellors at UW System campuses at Eau Claire, Green Bay, La Crosse, Oshkosh,
Parkside, Platteville, River Falls, Stevens Point, Stout, Superior and Whitewater
and the chancellors of the UW Colleges and the UW-Extension.
2. The position assigned to USEG 2 is the vice chancellor who is serving as
deputy at UW-Milwaukee.
3. The position assigned to USEG 3 is the vice chancellor who is serving as
deputy at UW-Madison.
4. The position assigned to USEG 4 is the chancellor at UW-Milwaukee.
5. The position assigned to USEG 5 is the chancellor at UW-Madison.
6. The position assigned to USEG 6 is the president of the UW System.
This bill expands the number of university senior executive salary groups to
nine such groups and includes additional executives employed by the UW System in
the compensation plan for UW senior executives. Under the bill, the following
positions are assigned to the following senior executive salary groups:
1. The positions assigned to USEG 1 are each of the vice chancellors who is
serving as deputy at UW System campuses at Eau Claire, Green Bay, La Crosse,
Oshkosh, Parkside, Platteville, River Falls, Stevens Point, Stout, Superior and
Whitewater and each of the vice chancellors who is serving as deputy at the UW
Colleges and the UW-Extension.
2. The positions assigned to USEG 2 are the vice presidents of the UW System.
3. The positions assigned to USEG 3 are the chancellors at UW System
campuses at Eau Claire, Green Bay, La Crosse, Oshkosh, Parkside, Platteville, River
Falls, Stevens Point, Stout, Superior and Whitewater and the chancellors of the UW
Colleges and the UW-Extension.
4. The position assigned to USEG 4 is the vice chancellor who is serving as
deputy at UW-Milwaukee.
5. The positions assigned to USEG 5 are the senior vice presidents of the UW
System.
6. The position assigned to USEG 6 is the vice chancellor who is serving as
deputy at UW-Madison.
7. The position assigned to USEG 7 is the chancellor at UW-Milwaukee.
8. The position assigned to USEG 8 is the chancellor at UW-Madison.
9. The position assigned to USEG 9 is the president of the UW System.
The salary ranges for all of these salary groups are contained in
recommendations submitted by the secretary of employment relations for approval
by the joint committee on employment relations.
In addition, the bill eliminates the restriction that prevents all of the following
positions from receiving a salary that equals or exceeds the salary paid to the
governor: the positions of associate and assistant vice presidents, certain vice
chancellors, assistant chancellors, associate and assistant vice chancellors and
administrative directors and associate directors of physical plant, general operations
and services and auxiliary enterprises activities or their equivalent, of each UW
institution, the UW-Extension and the UW System.
