The purpose of this section is to assist Academic Staff in staying informed on legislative issues concerning the education of students, the institution, and Academic Staff themselves.
As citizens of Wisconsin and employees of the state of Wisconsin we have a responsibility to keep informed and a right to communicate our concerns on legislative issues which effect the education, health and well-being of students enrolled in the university and the general public of Wisconsin. In this section we will attempt, as time and resources permit, to provide information on bills being considered and decisions made by governmental bodies and agencies.
It is important to follow university policy in the use of the work time and university owned equipment when involved in political lobbying. You may want to contact Tom Miller, UWSP Legislative Liaison, located in University Relations, to identify appropriate use of university resources and effective ways to contact and lobby your governmental representatives.
