• The University Personnel System policies respond to the Wis. Stat. § 36.115 directive and Regent Policy Document 20-21, University Personnel Systems, which delegates authority for the President of the UW System to implement and maintain a personnel system for all UW System employees except employees assigned to UW-Madison.

      • “Associate Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer”
    • Section 3. Scope and Institutional Responsibilities
      • “This policy applies to all UW System institutions and the UW System Administration, except for UW-Madison.”
    • Section 9. Scheduled Review
      • “July 2030”
  • Updating numbering schemes to match current standards
