Public Records Information for UW Universities
The Wisconsin Public Records Law is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of government bodies, including UW Administration. The laws, sometimes referred to as sunshine laws, promote transparency and honesty in the work across the Universities of Wisconsin and the employees who represent its institutions. Additional information on requesting public records for a university can be found on their websites.
