Wisconsin Public Records Law Basics for State Employees

Description:

Wisconsin’s Public Records Law, Wis. Stats. §19.31-19.39 is designed to serve two essential functions: transparency and accountability regarding the affairs of the government and the official acts of its officers and employees. As a unit of the state government, UW-Madison is subject to the Law, and the records of University officers and employees are subject to public access. Further, the Law presumes that denial of public access to this information is contrary to the public interest and only in exceptional cases may access be denied.
