Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
EDUCATION
University of Wisconsin System Authority
Current law creates a system of institutions of learning known as the UW System and specifies a mission and purposes for the system. The UW System is governed by the Board of Regents, which consists of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the president of the technical college system, 14 citizen members with seven-year terms, and two students with two-year terms. The latter 16 members are nominated by the governor and appointed with the advice and consent of the senate. There is a shared, hierarchical system of governance for the UW System: the Board of Regents has primary responsibility, followed by the UW System president, institution chancellors, faculty, academic staff, and students. Three boards and one council are created in or attached to the UW System: the Environmental Education Board, the Laboratory of Hygiene Board, the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Board, and the Rural Health Development Council.
Effective July 1, 2016, this bill converts the UW System to an authority called the University of Wisconsin System Authority (UWSA) by creating a system of higher education known by the same name, UW System, which is provided by UWSA. The bill creates a governing board for UWSA that retains the name, Board of Regents, and has the same members who are appointed in the same manner and for the same terms as under current law. The bill allows the members of the Board of Regents under current law to continue to serve until the expiration of their terms. The bill eliminates the shared, hierarchical system of governance under current law by vesting responsibility for governing the UW System in the UWSA Board of Regents and eliminating the powers specified under current law for the UW System president, chancellors, faculty, academic staff, and students. The bill specifies that the mission of the UW System includes developing human resources to meet the state's workforce needs, and requires the UWSA Board of Regents to provide affordable access to high-quality postsecondary, graduate, and doctoral education.
The bill eliminates specified grants of power to the Board of Regents under current law, and specifies that the UWSA Board of Regents has all powers necessary or convenient to operate the UW System, including the power to sue and be sued, have perpetual existence, execute contracts, and contract for legal services. The bill generally allows the UWSA Board of Regents of UWSA to adopt policies and procedures for matters without promulgating rules under procedures that apply to state agencies. However, the bill requires the UWSA Board of Regents to promulgate rules under those procedures for protecting the lives, health, and safety of persons on property under its jurisdiction, as well as for managing such property. The UWSA Board of Regents retains the police power of the Board of Regents under current law and campus police have the same duties and powers as under current law. As under current law, the bill allows the UWSA Board of Regents to authorize chancellors to adopt parking rules that are not subject to state agency rule-making procedures.
The bill requires the UWSA Board of Regents to enter into an agreement with the DOA secretary to lease for a period of not more than 75 years any state-owned property or facilities required for the UWSA Board of Regents to perform its duties and exercise its powers. The lease agreement must contain specified provisions, including provisions that do the following: 1) give the state ownership of improvements or modifications made to property or facilities subject to the lease agreement; 2) give the state ownership of any facility that the UWSA Board of Regents constructs on state-owned land; 3) require the UWSA Board of Regents to obtain building commission approval for any construction or renovation project costing at least $760,000 and involving a state-owned facility or occurring on state-owned land; 4) require UWSA to make debt payments for self-amortizing university facilities; and 5) make the UWSA Board of Regents responsible for maintenance and upkeep of facilities and property. The lease agreement and any modifications, extensions, or renewals may take effect only upon approval by JCF.
The bill requires the UWSA Board of Regents to appoint a president who is chief executive officer of UWSA, as well as the following, who are appointed by the Board of Regents under current law: the state geologist, state cartographer, and director of the psychiatric institute. The bill allows the UWSA Board of Regents to employ agents and employees whom the board finds necessary and requires the UWSA Board of Regents to develop and implement a personnel system and other employment policies. The bill transfers all UW System employees under current law to UWSA, except those who perform duties related to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and the State Laboratory of Hygiene. The bill transfers those laboratories and their employees to DATCP, and specifies that the employees are not required to serve a probationary period. The bill requires the DATCP secretary to appoint the directors of those laboratories, but allows the directors appointed under current law to continue to serve until their appointments expire. The bill specifies that UW System employees who are transferred to UWSA are eligible to transfer back to a position in state government any time before July 1, 2017.
The bill requires the UWSA Board of Regents to establish an annual budget and monitor fiscal management of UWSA. The bill allows the UWSA Board of Regents to issue bonds that are not public debt and specifies that the state pledges that, unless bondholders are adequately protected, the state will not limit or alter any rights before UWSA satisfies the bonds. The bill eliminates all appropriations to the UW System under current law, except general purpose revenues for educational programs and the payment of certain construction debt. The bill requires the DOA secretary to make quarterly payments to UWSA of the general purpose revenues appropriated for educational programs. However, the secretary is allowed to make the payments only if UWSA has made payments due on the lease agreement described above, payments required for municipal services, and any other payments for obligations otherwise due to the state. In fiscal year 2017-18, the bill allocates $753,533,000 from state sales tax revenue for the educational programs. In each fiscal year thereafter, the bill allocates the same amount with adjustments for inflation.
The bill generally maintains requirements under current law regarding tuition and tuition remissions. In academic years 2015-16 and 2016-17, the bill prohibits increases in resident undergraduate tuition above that charged in the 2014-15 academic year. The bill transfers responsibility for Minnesota-Wisconsin tuition reciprocity agreements from the Higher Educational Aids Board to the UWSA Board of Regents, which may continue such agreements at its discretion.
The bill specifies requirements for legal proceedings involving UWSA. Under current law, no one may sue a state officer, employee, or agent who is acting in his or her official capacity for damages unless the person serves the attorney general with a written notice of claim within 120 days of the event that allegedly caused the damages. The bill applies that prohibition to actions against a UWSA officer or employee. However, the prohibition does not apply to actions by the state against UWSA officers and employees. Current law generally limits damages in a case against a state officer, employee, or agent who is acting in his or her official capacity to $250,000. The bill applies that limit to actions, including those by the state, against a UWSA officer or employee. Current law generally provides that, if a public officer or a state employee is sued in an official capacity or for actions undertaken within the scope of his or her employment, the state or political subdivision that employs the officer or employee must provide legal counsel to the defendant or cover legal costs for the defendant. If damages are assessed against the officer or employee, the state or political subdivision must pay any damages in excess of applicable insurance. The bill applies those duties to UWSA regarding its officers and employees. Under current law, DOJ represents the state, state agencies, and state employees in certain legal proceedings, reviews, and actions. The bill requires DOJ to do the same for UWSA and its officials, employees, and agents, unless the state and the UWSA Board of Regents are adverse parties.
The bill eliminates requirements that apply to the UW System and Board of Regents under current law, including requirements regarding the following: faculty tenure and probationary appointments; academic staff appointments; accumulation of sick leave; specified educational programs and studies; graduate student financial aid; recruiting programs for minority and disadvantaged students; public broadcasting; application and parking fees; student fee statements; gifts, grants, and bequests to the UW System; transportation planning; orientation information on sexual assault and harassment; student identification numbers; Downer Woods preservation; criteria for use of animals in research; information technology; support for medical practice in underserved areas; a rural physician residency assistance program; loan assistance programs for physicians, dentists, and other health care providers; and various legislative reports.
The bill makes other changes, including the following:
1. The bill allows the UWSA Board of Regents to acquire property by condemnation in the same manner as the Board of Regents under current law.
2. Under current law, employees of the UW System, except faculty and academic staff, may collectively bargain under the State Employment Labor Relations Act (SELRA). Under SELRA, the legislature must adopt collective bargaining agreements covering the employees before the agreements may be executed. Under this bill, UWSA employees, except faculty, academic staff, and law enforcement officers, may collectively bargain under the Municipal Employment Relations Act (MERA), and collective bargaining agreements under MERA are not subject to legislative approval.
3. The bill allows the UWSA Board of Regents, with DOA approval, to opt in or out of the state's risk management program administered by DOA, except for the state worker's compensation program.
4. Under current law, the UW System is subject to state procurement requirements applicable to state agencies. Under this bill, UWSA is not subject to those requirements. Instead, UWSA is treated like a municipality, which allows DOA to enter into cooperative purchasing agreements with UWSA.
5. The bill requires the UWSA Board of Regents members to file annual statements of economic interest required for public officials, subjects specified UWSA officials to the ethics code for public officials, and requires the UWSA Board of Regents to establish an ethics code for other personnel.
6. The bill specifies that UWSA retains the income, sales, and property tax exemptions of the UW System under current law and requires UWSA to make payments for municipal services in the same manner as the UW System under current law.
7. The bill creates an exception to the open records law for information produced or collected by or for UWSA faculty or staff with respect to commercial, scientific, or technical research until that information is publicly disseminated or patented.
8. The bill specifies that the UW-Extension programs in counties are subject to the approval of the UWSA Board of Regents.
9. The bill eliminates the Environmental Education Board and the Rural Health Development Council.
state government
Other state government
Under current law, DOA manages all engineering, design, and construction work for state agencies, including the UW System, but DOA may delegate its management authority to an agency for a specific project. Plans and specifications for all work on UW projects are subject to approval of DOA. Under this bill, a project for UWSA, which is created effective July 1, 2016, under this bill, is subject to Building Commission approval and DOA supervision if the project is funded entirely from general purpose revenues. For any project of UWSA that is not funded entirely by general purpose revenues, Building Commission approval is not required and UWSA is in charge of all aspects of the project, except that DOA is still responsible for the bidding process on a project of UWSA that costs at least $760,000. DOA may not charge UWSA for conducting the bidding process on such a project.
Currently, the UW System may not accept a gift or grant of real property valued in excess of $150,000 or any gift of a building, structure, or facility that is constructed for the benefit of the UW System without approval of the Building Commission. Under the bill, this restriction does not apply to UWSA.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
