Biographical/Historical Note

There was a board of nine regents for the Normal School system appointed by the Governor of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin State University–Eau Claire became a part of the University of Wisconsin System in 1971, when the Wisconsin State University System merged with the University of Wisconsin System. The Board of Regents is the group mainly responsible for the governance of the UW-System and its institutions. “The Board is responsible for establishing policies and rules for governing the System, planning to meet future state needs for collegiate education, setting admission standards and policies, reviewing and approving university budgets, and establishing the regulatory framework within which the individual units are allowed to operate with as great a degree of autonomy as possible. The Board appoints the president of the university system and the chancellors of the 13 universities. The Board grants tenure appointments to faculty members.” (https://www.wisconsin.edu/regents/)
