What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System to establish a program, identified as the student success and access fund, to ensure that students from every region of this state have access to an affordable education within the UW System, with particular attention to rural and underresourced regions of the state and the UW System branch campuses. A UW System institution may apply to the Board of Regents for additional funding if student success and access is at risk due to any factor, including if any of the institution's campuses is operating at a deficit, at risk of insolvency, underserved and unable to meet the needs of students, or undergoing significant programmatic changes. For granted applications, the Board of Regents must allocate funding on the basis of a campus's need, the severity of the risk factors the campus faces, and the funds available. If funding is insufficient, the Board of Regents must request supplemental funding from the Joint Committee on Finance. The Board of Regents must annually report to JCF and the applicable legislative standing committees its distribution of funding in the prior year.
