UWSA Co-Hosts 2025 WI Higher Education Summit
The Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU) and the Universities of Wisconsin Administration (UWSA) co-hosted the 2025 Wisconsin Higher Education Summit on May 28-30, 2025.

The Office of Compliance and Integrity (OCI) supports compliance efforts at the Universities of Wisconsin (UW). Our mission is to provide support and services to UW universities in identifying and fulfilling compliance obligations from federal law, state law, and Board of Regents policies. We do this by promoting a culture that moves beyond regulatory compliance to one that embraces ethics and integrity across the UW.
The areas of focus include, but are not limited to: Title IX Compliance, Clery Act Compliance, Protection of Minors, Public Records, Records Management, Ethics and Conflicts of Interest, State Authorization of Distance Education, and Investigative Services.
Governance
The UW System compliance framework is established in accordance with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines of the U.S. Sentencing Commission and the United States Department of Justice Guidance, Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs.
