What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill generally requires the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System to equalize per-student funding among UW institutions, excluding UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, by July 1, 2031.

Under current law, the Board of Regents must allocate funds and adopt budgets for the respective UW institutions giving consideration to the principles of comparable budgetary support for similar programs and equitable compensation for faculty and academic staff with comparable training, experience, and responsibilities and recognizing competitive ability to recruit and retain qualified faculty and academic staff. A significant portion of state funding for the UW System is from a single general purpose revenue appropriation to the Board of Regents for general program operations. This appropriation also provides outcomes-based performance funding for UW institutions.

Read the full summary

This bill requires that, by July 1, 2031, the Board of Regents allocate to all UW institutions, other than UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, an equal amount of GPR funding, excluding performance funding, per full-time equivalent undergraduate student enrolled at the institution. The Board of Regents must also make incremental progress in each fiscal biennium toward achieving this requirement. In submitting its biennial budget request for the next four biennia, the Board of Regents must include information detailing a plan for achieving equivalent per-student GPR funding at all UW institutions, other than UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, by July 1, 2031, and the Board of Regents' progress toward that plan.
