Regent President
Term of Appointment: May 2020 – May 2027
Amy B. Bogost was appointed to the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents by Governor Tony Evers in 2020 and is currently serving as President. She practices law as a civil rights attorney dealing with victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, including expertise in Title IX. She has provided invaluable training on the implementation of Title IX at Tribal colleges and has played a pivotal role in organizing, teaching and collaborating with the Southwest Center for Law and Policy’s National Trial Tribal College, co-sponsored and located at the University of Wisconsin Law School. NTTC addresses the shortage of legal practitioners in Indian Country and Alaska by training laypersons to litigate in the areas of greatest need: divorce, child custody, visitation, child support, domestic violence protection orders, and victim rights. Bogost is deeply committed to advancing educational equity and disability rights and has also dedicated her legal skills to advocating on behalf of students and families with learning differences and other disabilities. Bogost currently sits on the Milwaukee-based HIR Wellness Center Board, a nonprofit organization that believes in a multi-systemic and integrated approach to providing high-quality mental health and wellness care. She holds a Juris Doctorate from Chicago Kent College of Law and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is a member of the Washington State, California, and Wisconsin Bar Associations. Bogost is deeply rooted in her community. She, her husband, and their three adult children are lifelong residents of Wisconsin, where they have all proudly received degrees from the University of Wisconsin.
