Gov. Scott Walker announced Wednesday he is looking for applicants to fill the two student representative positions on the UW System Board of Regents.
The first representative would serve a two-year term and must be over the age of 18.
The second representative would be someone who is an undergraduate student and 24 years or older and would serve for one year. That student would represent the interests of non-traditional students who are employed or parents.
According to the release, both representatives must be enrolled at least half-time in a UW school, be in good academic standing, be Wisconsin residents and be enrolled for the entire term.
The release also said the Walker administration will not accept applications from UW-Milwaukee or UW-Eau Claire because both were recently represented on the board.
If the New Badger Partnership is approved, the Board of Regents would no longer oversee UW-Madison, since it would be governed by a separate Board of Trustees.
