Section UWS 5.02 - Financial emergency
Universal Citation: WI Admin Code ยง UWS 5.02
Current through August 26, 2024
(1) For the purposes of this chapter, "financial emergency" is a state which may be declared by the board to exist for an institution if and only if the board finds that the following conditions exist:
(a) The total general program
operations (GPR/fee) budget of the institution, excluding adjustments for
salary/wage increases and for inflationary impact on nonsalary budgets, has
been reduced;
(b) Institutional
operation within this reduced budget requires a reduction in the number of
faculty positions such that tenured faculty must be laid off, or probationary
faculty must be laid off prior to the end of their respective appointments.
Such a reduction in faculty positions shall be deemed required only if in the
board's judgment it will have an effect substantially less detrimental to the
institution's ability to fulfill its mission than would other forms of
budgetary curtailment available to the institution; and
(c) The procedures described in ss.
UWS 5.05 and have
been 5.06 followed.
