Relating to: prohibiting University of Wisconsin System institutions and technical colleges from using loyalty pledges and requiring them to make certain information publicly available.

This bill prohibits University of Wisconsin System institutions and technical colleges from requiring individuals or groups to pledge allegiance to specific political ideologies, including statements on diversity, equity, and inclusion, as a condition for admission, funding, or employment. It mandates that these institutions publicly post all training materials and policies related to nondiscrimination and bias to ensure transparency. Additionally, the legislation establishes strict penalties for violations, including mandatory unpaid leave and termination for employees who enforce such pledges, while allowing individuals to sue institutions for damages or reinstatement if their rights are infringed. Although the bill passed the legislature, it was vetoed by the Governor and ultimately failed to become law.
