MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The state Senate has approved a bill that would require at least half of the citizen members on the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents come from different parts of Wisconsin.
Fourteen citizen members currently serve on the board. The bill would carve the state into seven geographic districts. At least one citizen member would have to live in each district. The governor would have to begin making appointments to meet the new standards in 2012.
The measure now goes to the state Assembly.
