Government Relations
The UW System maintains a wide range of ties with the executive and legislative branches of state and federal government. It is also an active participant in the work of a number of national higher education associations such as AAU, APLU, AASCU, CASE and ACE. Government Relations provides a focus for advocacy, in cooperation with legislative liaisons from the UW System institutions and peer universities nationwide.
