Federal Updates

Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman created the Federal Updates Working Group to facilitate timely communication and provide rapid response support and guidance for all our universities with the new administration’s fast-moving federal policy agenda.

The Federal Updates Working Group consists of UW team members who will review matters ranging from anticipated and proposed federal legislative actions, regulatory changes, and Presidential executive orders. The working group includes liaisons from each of the UW universities to coordinate outreach and action with their university.

Go to WhiteHouse.gov to search for specific executive orders and guidance issued by the White House.
