What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill deletes from the definition of "faculty" of the University of Wisconsin

(UW) System a reference to a repealed law. Former law required the Board of

Regents of the UW System to treat certain individuals as faculty members with the

rank of associate professor. The requirement applied to individuals who were not

ranked faculty members on August 15, 1991, and who held specified appointments

before July 10, 1974. The 2015-16 biennial budget act repealed the law imposing the

requirement. However, current law defines "faculty" to include those individuals by

referring to the former law. This bill deletes the reference to the former law. As a

result, under the bill, the individuals are not included in the definition of "faculty."
