Faculty and Academic Staff Handbook19th Edition, 2008Chapter VII: UWS and UWRF Policies7.11 Open Meeting LawWisconsin has an "open meeting" law which is applicable to formal meetings and to official departmental meetings. The provisions of the "Open Meetings of Governmental Bodies" are contained in Chapter 19 sections 19.81-19.98 of the Wisconsin Statutes. However, departments and their sub-units in any University of Wisconsin institution or campus are exempt from certain provisions dealing with public notice and are required only to provide meeting notices which are likely to apprise interested persons and news media who have filed written requests for such notice. Closed sessions are permitted under certain circumstances involving personnel matters, and details of these have been distributed to the Deans and department chairs.
