Bill > AB1005

This bill amends existing Wisconsin statutes concerning admission to the University of Wisconsin System, specifically focusing on the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It modifies the current law to include a new provision, 36.11 (3r), which mandates that undergraduate admission decisions at UW-Madison must be primarily based on objective criteria such as college entrance examination performance, including tests like the ACT and SAT, or similar national or regional assessments of college readiness. This new requirement, however, does not apply to applicants admitted through the guaranteed admission program, which is already established under subsection (3m). The bill also clarifies that no discriminatory tests based on race, religion, national origin, or sex will be permitted in admissions. This change will take effect for applications submitted for the 2027-28 academic year.
