UW System’s Role in WiscNet and Grant-Funded Networks

Report 12-18 | December 2012

SUMMARY

UW System institutions and other public entities receive internet services from WiscNet, which is a nonprofit association. In FY 2011-12, WiscNet’s fees were generally lower than those of commercial providers. Inadequate documentation prevented us from determining whether all payments made between WiscNet and UW System were sufficient and appropriate. Continued monitoring will be necessary to assess UW System’s compliance with 2011 Wisconsin Act 32, which affects its future involvement with WiscNet and grant-funded networks.
