There are 18 Regents at the University of Wisconsin. 16 are appointed by Governors and 2 are automatic “ins” as a result of their position (e.g., State Superintendent of Public Instruction).

2 of those 18 appointees are current students in the UW system.
Of the 16 non-students on the board:
- 4 have worked in public education broadly and 3 have had jobs at Universities. Not including advisory/board positions; I mean, actual jobs :)
- Not everyone works in for-profit businesses: 10 have profiles that are standard “for profit executives,” though that also overcounts because it includes lawyers, at least one of whom is a civil rights attorney (fairly far removed from a CEO even if it also wouldn’t count as a non-profit).
Note: this was very sloppy work done while a sort of sick 5 year old crawled all over me demanding attention and snacks. Apologies in advance in case mistakes were made (they definitely were).

MBAs don’t predominate!
