HR Policy - UW System Administrative Policy 1276 - Title Definitions

The purpose of this policy is to provide UW System institutions with a titling structure within the framework of employee categories that covers all UW System employees as required by Wis. Stat. § 36.115(2). It is the Board of Regents’ responsibility to fix the duties of administrators, officers, faculty, academic staff, university staff, and other employees of the UW System, and each chancellor’s delegated authority for the administration and operation of the institution within the policies and guidelines established by the Board are set forth in Chapter 36 of the Wisconsin Statutes. This guideline provides a systemwide framework for title usage; describes System and institution authority for assignment of titles; offers general descriptions of titles (see Appendices Appendix 1, 1A, and 2).
