Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill limits the authority of University of Wisconsin System institutions to
charge students “segregated fees,” which the bill defines as mandatory fees that are
in addition to instructional fees. The bill requires the Board of Regents to ensure that
institutions charge segregated fees only for expenses related to the following: 1)
officially recognized student organizations; 2) student governance; 3) student media;
4) intra-collegiate student recreational sports; 5) intercollegiate athletics; 6) student
health, counseling, and child care services; 7) student transportation services; 8)
nonacademic student services; 9) student union programming and nonretail
operations; 10) facility maintenance; and 11) capital construction projects.
