the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin (UW) System and that the
governor may select this student member from recommendations made by elected
representatives of student governments at institutions within the UW System. This
bill requires the governor to appoint two student members, one of whom may be
selected from these recommendations and the other of whom must be selected from
these recommendations.
