Fiscal Year 2025 Policy Priorities Memo
Below please find the FY 2025 Policy Priorities Memo.
This document details the policy work completed in FY 2024, as well as a list of SYS policy priorities for FY 2025. The policies were identified as high priority due to the policy’s content, the last revision date, or other emergent factors (e.g., changes to federal or state regulation). University leadership and Shared Governance Statewide Representatives were asked to provide input on SYS policy priorities that should be undertaken by Universities of Wisconsin Administration in the coming year. Comments were provided to Universities of Wisconsin Administration policy owners for final consideration in the development of this plan.
The list in the attached memo is not exhaustive, as other issues may arise as the fiscal year progresses, leading to other policy matters taking precedence. In addition, as part of the Universities of Wisconsin strategic plan, the Office of Enrollment & Student Success conducted a review of all SYS and Regent policies with an eye to identifying policies that created barriers, challenges or concerns that impact enrollment, student success or the student experience with a goal of making policy improvements. That work will be completed this summer and a report is expected to be distributed by early fall. Finally, policy owners were asked to include policies that will require revisions in response to the Administrative Transformation Program (ATP) and the implementation of WorkDay in their priorities, and it is likely that additional policies will be identified closer to the start of that initiative.
Quarterly preview memos will be provided at the beginning of each quarter with an updated listing of the policy work anticipated for the next three months.
