What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the following prohibitions relating to the respective

educational roles of the University of Wisconsin System and the Technical College

System: 1) that the Board of Regents not broaden the UW System's mission to include

training for semiprofessional or skilled-trade occupations beyond that offered

during the 1972-73 academic year unless the TCS Board approves; and 2) that the

TCS Board not broaden TCS collegiate transfer program offerings beyond those in

existence during the 1972-73 academic year unless the Board of Regents approves.

A “collegiate transfer program" is a full-time program in which the credits earned

may be transferable to a four-year institution of higher education.
