FOIA Request to University Of Wisconsin-Green Bay regarding university board member information on October 22, 2025.
The Green Bay Reporter has submitted a request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law seeking specific records from the University Of Wisconsin-Green Bay. The request aims to obtain a current list of members of the University’s governing board or board of trustees. This includes each member’s full name, title or position, and term of service.
