Faculty Articles of Governance

The faculty Unclassified Staff Governance Rules found in UWEX Articles of Faculty Governance 1-6 and Appendices I-III are derived from the rights and responsibilities given to faculty in Chapter 36 of the Wisconsin State Statutes (http://folio.legis.state.wi.us/). These policies guide the faculty's governance rights and obligations. They are created or altered in consultation between the chancellor and the faculty.

The official copies of these policies and guidelines are available in the secretary's office. If you need these policies in a different format due to a disability, contact Kate Wodyn, 608-262-6151, kate.wodyn@uwex.edu.
