Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the following University of Wisconsin (UW) System senior executive positions are included in salary groups that have salary ranges established by the Board of Regents of the UW System: the chancellors at the UW campuses at Eau Claire, Green Bay, La Crosse, Oshkosh, Parkside, Platteville, River Falls, Stevens Point, Stout, Superior, and Whitewater; the chancellors of the UW colleges and the UW-Extension; the vice chancellor who is serving as deputy at the UW-Milwaukee; the senior vice presidents of the UW System; the vice chancellor who is serving as deputy at the UW-Madison; the chancellor at the UW-Milwaukee; the chancellor at the UW-Madison; and the president of the UW System.

This substitute amendment provides that the Board of Regents of the UW System may not determine adjustments to the salary ranges for these UW System senior executive positions in any fiscal year that exceed the sum of the average salary adjustment recommended by the director of the Office of State Employment Relations for UW System faculty and academic staff for that fiscal year and the average salary adjustment for represented, classified employees in the largest collective bargaining unit at the UW System for that fiscal year, divided by two.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
