Violations must also be reported to the institution&#8217;s chancellor under the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Individual chancellors currently have direct oversight of athletic programs and would retain that authority. This proposal is intended to formalize communication and reporting between athletic departments and UW System.\u00a0UW-Madison and System&#8217;s two other Division 1 athletic programs (UW-Milwaukee and UW-Green Bay) would be the first to implement the new policies if it is approved at next month&#8217;s meeting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enrollment Management<\/strong> UW-Madison Provost Paul De Luca addressed the board with the latest enrollment data. This year, UW-Madison enrolled 42,818 students, compared to 42,441 last year. There was, however, a slight decrease in the number of resident undergraduate students enrolled.<\/p>\n<p>De Luca also told the regents that time to degree continues to improve, due in part to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/madisoninitiative.wisc.edu\/\">Madison Initiative for Undergraduates<\/a>. Freshmen enrolled in 2005 graduated in an average of 4.06 years, compared to an average of 4.19 years for a freshman enrolled in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>The provost&#8217;s PowerPoint presentation is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsa.edu\/news\/2012\/10-2012\/UW-Madison_Fall-2012-Enrollment.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents met at UW-Stout last week.
