David E. Clarenbach SPEAKER PRO TEM OF THE ASSEMBLY March 14, 1984 Robert M. O'Neil, President University of Wisconsin Room 1720, Van Hise Hall Madison, WI 53706 Dear President O'Neil: I am responding to your memorandum of November 22, 1983, requesting instances of UW System documents which do not appear to be in compliance with Chapter 112, Laws of 1981. It has been brought to my attention that many pamphlets and bulletins issued by either departments or colleges at the Madison campus have not yet incorporated a discrimination disclaimer with regard to sexual orientation. I would also assume that the same applies to other campuses as well. I have enclosed several pamphlets which give examples of the current, and somewhat varied, discrimination disclaimers used. One of my administrative aides, John Schenian, along with the Ten Percent Society, a gay/lesbian student organization on the Madison campus, have been working with Mary Rouse of the UW-Madison Dean of Students Office. They are preparing a campus-wide statement indicating the need to be in compliance with Chapter 112. Your office may wish to consider the issuance of a statement on a specific discrimination disclaimer to be used throughout the University of Wisconsin System. This would serve the dual purpose of informing all agencies in the System of the need for compliance with Chapter 112, as well as providing for a uniform and correct disclaimer. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Waid David Clarenbach State Representative enc. 422 North, State Capitol Madison, Wisconsin 53702 608-266-8570 --- David E. Clarenbach SPEAKER PRO TEM OF THE ASSEMBLY June 8, 1984 Robert M. O'Neil, President The University of Wisconsin System 1700 Van Hise Hall Madison, WI 53706 Dear President O'Neil: Thank you for your response to my inquiry regarding compliance with state laws prohibiting discrimination. I am pleased that this issue has been clarified, and that future publications will include the revised wording. Thank you, again, for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, David Clarenbach State Representative 422 North, State Capitol Madison, Wisconsin 53702 608-266-8570 --- Specifics About AGSCIENCE Careers Agricultural scientists are nutrition- ists, biochemists, sociologists, plant and animal pathologists, ecologists, cytolog- ists, virologists, microbiologists, soil sci- entists, agronomists, entomologists, ani- mal scientists, geneticists, plant scientists, horticulturists, land use planners, and more. Don't fret if you don't understand all these careers. The Dictionary of Occupa- tional Titles lists more than 100 "ists" who fit into the broad category of agricultural scientist. Take time later to study them in more detail. Agscientists make tissue analyses in spotless labs and wildlife counts in track- less wildernesses. They're marine biolo- gists and ag consultants in foreign lands. They develop parks in large cities and find solutions to complex economic and social problems. They study pigs in order to under- stand human ulcers, develop crops that require less water, and livestock that pro- duce more meat on less feed. They reclaim strip-mined land and divert industrial waste into beneficial irrigations projects. They labor alone and as members of highly specialized teams. A National Science Foundation sur- vey in the mid-1960's showed that 100 agscientists worked for non-profit organi- zations, 6,100 for private industry, 21,000 for government agencies, and 19,900 for universities, the majority of these Land Grant Universities. In 1950 there were 17,000 agscientists in the U.S. In 1970 there were 51,000 and it's predicted we'll need 70,000 by 1980. Land Grant Universities The majority of agricultural scientists academically prepare themselves at their state's Land Grant University. By act of Congress, these schools have special responsibility to prepare agricultural sci- entists and conduct agricultural research. Colleges at Land Grant Universities offering agricultural programs are charac- terized by high standards, friendly faculty, sociable students and a general we- care-about-you attitude. Financial assistance through scholarships, grants, and part-time jobs is usually available if you need it. Before making your final career deci- sion, get more detailed information about careers in scientific agriculture. Write to: "A new societal value system is emerging. One that says quality is more important than quantity that greatness is more important than growth. Agricultural scientists will help this value system take root and nourish the soul of America."

SCIENCE for you if you like CHALLENGE DISCOVERY PEOPLE --- Exciting, Challenging, Rewarding Imagine yourself in these science career situations. You're a specialist in animal cells and tissue. Your job - experimentally find ways of making successful skin grafts on birds to pave the way for tissue transplants in man. You're an expert on plant genetics. Your job-breed new vegetable varieties that are resistant to plant diseases found in the soil. You're a specialist on insects. Your job-find a way to reduce pesticide use in orchards by raising large numbers of beneficial predator insects to prey upon fruit-damaging insects. - You'll find such scientific challenges in AGSCIENCE- an exciting world of plant growth chambers, radioactivity, electron microscopes, laboratories, experimental chemistry and biology, sociology, and much more. If you're an aspiring young scientist, AGSCIENCE offers unlimited opportun- ity and excitement. Rewards in AGSCIENCE rank high, too. Personal satisfaction, excellent salaries, diverse working conditions and locations, and widespread benefits to society these rewards are unsurpassed by other branches of scientific study. - What Is AGSCIENCE It's that portion of science which sup- ports the broad area of food, fiber, and forest production in our environment - agriculture. Agriculture is the most universal, dynamic, and possibly misun- derstood, of all sciences. Don't let preconceived ideas about agriculture keep you from doing what you'd like most with your life. Discover some of our exciting career opportunities. There are parts of agriculture you've never dreamed of. Truth is, there are parts of agriculture that most folks don't even rec- ognize as agriculture. FARM Remember, YOU DON'T NEED A BACKGROUND OR ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF AG- RICULTURE TO BECOME A SUC- CESSFUL AGRICULTURAL SCI- ENTIST. or A city or suburban background won't hinder your probe into the inner workings of a cell, your analysis of a water sample, your search for the scientific breakthrough to a serious health problem. It's your science background and keen mind that will pay big professional dividends. The plain truth is that agriculture needs more scientists - young men and women from all racial and social back- grounds. The main thing you need is a compell- ing inner desire to search out scientific facts and prove them beyond reasonable doubt traits that bind all scientists into common brotherhood. Our Past Is Fantastic The achievements of modern agricul- tural science are stunning. America's abundance is gratifying testimony to our success. This nation's unsurpassed agricultural production is largely the result of hard-working, imaginative scientists and progressive-minded farmers, ranchers, foresters, processors, and mar- keting firms. Our Future Is Challenging But the challenges facing our scien- tists are vast. Rampant world population growth makes the threat of hunger man's constant companion. Agricultural lands are being pressed to peak production capacity under current technology. Urban sprawl, industrial and recrea- tional development gobble acres at an alarming rate. Water and land resources are getting scarcer. Water and air quality need constant attention. The need for new 'technology is growing by leaps and bounds. These problems of society are opportunity for our future agscientists. Our Goal Our goal in modern agriculture is to feed and clothe the peoples of the world while simultaneously making this increas- ingly small and crowded globe a more pleasant, safer place to live. Yet, this fundamental dream won't happen by just dreaming because the methods of reaching it are complex - and to be discovered through AGSCIENCE. still --- Specifics About AGPRODUCTION Careers Careers in agricultural production can be either specialized or diversified. More and more farms are specializing in produc- tion of one commodity. Such specialized enterprises can produce either familiar commodities like beef, swine, poultry, grapes, or soybeans or less familiar crops like flower bulbs, turf grasses, trees and shrubs, and vegetables for processing. Yet, diversified farms still produce a large share of our total agricultural output. They seem assured of continuing their im- portance in the foreseeable future. Both types of AGPRODUCTION careers require a broad educational back- ground including biology, soil science, chemistry, genetics, disease and insect control, crop production, nutrition, economics, management, engineering, conservation, and sociology. Some agricultural producers work for themselves on personally owned or leased farms, ranches, or forests. Others manage agricultural production enterprises for in- dividuals or companies. Most work in predominantly rural areas, but many work in the largest urban centers. It's the individual's choice. AGRICULTURE PRODUCERS ARE MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL RACIAL AND ECONOMIC BACK- GROUNDS. They are generally enter- prising and unafraid of hard work, finan- cial risks or decision making. They readily accept the role of agriculture industry leaders. AGPRODUCERS recognize ag- riculture as both a way of life and a way of making a living. They like people, are tuned in to the pleasures of working with living things, and appreciate such intangi- ble benefits of rural life as neighborliness and the smell of fresh cut hay. Land Grant Universities More agriculture producers are com- pleting four years of college than ever be- fore. About 95,000 had degrees in 1960; 135,000 in 1970. There'll be 190,000 by 1980. Your state's Land Grant University is the best place to prepare yourself for a career in AGPRODUCTION. Students take specialized and general courses while enrolled in the College of Agriculture. Colleges offering agricultural pro- grams are characterized by friendly faculty, sociable students, high standards, and a general we-care-about-you attitude. Fi- nancial assistance through scholarships, grants, and part-time jobs is usually avail- able if you need it.

Norman Borlaug, agricultural scientist trained in land-grant universities and Nobel Peace Prize winner. PRODUCTION for you if you like PLANTS & ANIMALS OUTDOORS WORK SELF-FULFILLMENT --- Challenging Opportunities Picture yourself in these career situations. You're manager of a large cow-calf enterprise. Your job-start an intensive performance testing program to improve the breeding stock. You have a chance to return to the family farm. Your job-take increasing responsibility for the farm's operation while keeping profits high enough to support two families. You're a specialist in soil management and crop production. Your job-supervise operations on 1,000 acres of oranges, grapefruit, and lemons. You're in charge of a greenhouse near a large city. Your job-supervise all aspects of flower production and marketing. You're a dairy production specialist. Your job-manage a 500-cow dairy, including milking and breeding records, cow nutrition, disease prevention, milk quality, marketing, and supervision of hired labor. You're a forest manager. Your job-increase timber yields on 100,000 acres, determine harvest locations and quantities, and supervise tree planting, thinning, and pruning. These career situations are typical of the diverse and profitable opportunities in AGPRODUCTION. And, they all have one thing in common-a need for specialized training, individual initiative, and an interest in living plants or animals. AGPRODUCTION careers are rewarding both personally and financially. Personal satisfaction comes from improving production efficiency. From a financial standpoint, AGPRODUC- TION faces a bright future based on high projected demands for agri- cultural and timber products-both at home and abroad. What is AGPRODUCTION? Agricultural production is our largest and most important industry-producing food, fiber, ornamental plants, and forest products for this nation and other areas of the world. Every state in the nation has production agriculture in varying degrees and combinations of crops, livestock, and specialties. Production agriculture careers are not for everyone. But for persons with special interest, opportunities, or lifestyles oriented toward farming, ranching, greenhouse or plant nursery management, forest production, plants, and animals, careers in AGPRODUCTION are the most satisfying. In general, a background in some phase of agriculture is an asset in an AGPRODUTION career. However, A FARM BACKGROUND OR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF AGRICULTURE IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN AG- PRODUCTION. Persons without an agricultural background usually make an extra effort to learn about agriculture through summer jobs, part-time work, or in other ways. Agriculture's Performance Unsurpassed The achievements of modern American agriculture are unsurpassed in world history. Our farmers, ranchers, and foresters-supported by a cast of scientists and businessmen-regularly achieve production levels that are the envy of the world. Our agricultural success is the prime reason for our unparalleled standard of living. We are among the few nations of the international community willing and able to share our agricultural bounty and technology with a hungry world. Future Responsibilities Great Our future in AGPRODUCTION is filled with challenges that skilled, educated production specialists can help us meet. A growing world population is boosting food needs and putting more strain on the production capabilities of our agricultural resources. In addition, a fixed amount of land and water is under increased pressure for competing uses such as recreation, housing, and transportation. AGPRODUCERS must give increasing attention to environmental and conservation responsibilities. Production agriculture is complex today and will be more complex tomorrow. Difficult technical and managerial decisions will require specialized training and knowledge. Our Goal Our goal in agriculture is to continue high levels of production that enhance na- tional and personal prosperity. At the same time, we strive for increased effi- ciency of agricultural enterprises and con- tinuation of a rural way of life. --- Psychological Testing Interest inventories Achievement tests Special aptitude tests Personality inventories If you would like an appointment...

It combines, on a single campus, nine schools and three colleges. In 1974, the faculty adopted a mission statement that began by stating that the purpose of the UW-Madison "is to provide an environment in which faculty and stu- dents can discover, examine critically, preserve, and transmit the knowledge, wisdom, and values that will help ensure the survival of the present and future generations with improvement in the quali- ty of life." The Institute for Environmental Studies is a part of the larger University community, which in the fall of 1981 numbered 41,691 students and the equivalent of 6,235 faculty and academic staff. Scholarship and academic freedom are valued highly at the University. A plaque on Bascom Hall displays the 1894 Board of Regents' declaration that the University "should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found." The campus has the largest concentration of graduate, research, and professional pro- grams in the state, in addition to a well- balanced undergraduate program. Courses are offered in 125 departments. There are many social and cultural programs. Bulletin of the University of Wisconsin-Madison is pub- lished 10 times annually; monthly except June and July; by the Publications Office, 27 Bascom Hall, 500 Lincoln Drive, Madison 53706.

You have the right to inspect and review all your records which meet the Act's definition of "edu- cation records." 2. What is the definition of "education records?" Education records are all the records maintained by the University about you. There are seven exceptions: a. personal notes of University of Wisconsin staff and faculty, b. employment records, c. medical and counseling records used solely for treatment, d. records in the Department of Protection and Security, e. financial records of your parents, f. confidential letters and statements of recom- mendation placed in your records prior to January 1,1975, g. confidential letters and statements of recom- mendation for admission, employment or honorary recognition placed in your records after January 1, 1975, for which you have waived the right to inspect and review. 3. Is there any situation in which the University may insist that I waive my rights? Under no condition may you be required to waive your rights under this Act before receiving Univer- sity services or benefits. 4. Where are my records kept? Records are not maintained in a central location on the campus. Requests to review your records must be made separately to each office which main- tains your records. Your request must be made in writing and presented to the appropriate office. That office will have up to 45 days to honor your request. For most students, these office will include the Registrar, school or college dean, major depart- ment, and any other campus offices you have contacted, such as Student Financial Aids, Dean of Students, or Residence Halls. A more complete list will be found in the policy document. 5. What if I do not agree with what is in my records? You may challenge any information contained in your "education records" which you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate. This right does not extend to reviewing grades unless the grade assigned by your professor was inaccurately recorded in your records. You may also insert a statement in your record to explain any such material from your point of view. If you wish to challenge information in your file, you must make a written request for a hearing to the dean or director of the appropriate office. In most cases, the decision of the dean or director will be final. However, you may elect to file an appeal in writing to the Chancellor who will review the decision only if a significant question of policy or compli- ance with the law appears to be raised by the case. 6. May I determine which third parties can view my education records? Under the Act, your prior written consent must be obtained before information may be disclosed to a third parties unless they are exempted from this provision. Information will be released with- out your prior written consent only in the follow- ing instances: a. requests from University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty and staff with a legitimate educational "need to know" (except employees of the Department of Protection and Security), b. requests in accordance with a lawful subpoena or court order, c. requests from representatives of agencies or organizations from which you have received financial aid, including banks or other lending agencies from which you have received guaran- teed student loans, d. requests from officials of other educational institutions in which you intend to enroll, e. requests from other persons specifically exempt- ed from the prior consent requirement by the Act (certain federal and state officials, organi- zations conducting studies on behalf of the University and accrediting organizations), f. requests for "directory information" (please refer to the next question for an explanation). g. requests in connection with an emergency if the knowledge of such information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other person. 7. What is meant by the term "directory information?" The University, in accordance with the Act, has designated the following categories of information about you as public unless you choose to exercise your right to have any or all of this information withheld. This information will be routinely re- leased to any inquirer unless you request that all or part of this list be withheld. These categories are: Name Address (school and permanent) Telephone listing Date of birth Major field of study (including current classifi- cation, year, credit load and number of academic credits earned toward degree), Dates of attendance (matriculation and withdrawal dates), Degrees and awards received (type of degree and date granted), Most recent previous educational agency or institution attended, Participation in officially recognized activities and sports and weight and height of members of athletic teams. 8. What kinds of inquiries does the University receive for "directory information?" The University receives many inquiries for "direc- tory information" from a variety of sources includ- ing friends, parents, relatives, prospective --- UNIVERSITY MADISON OF Office of the Registrar 750 University Avenue Madison, Wisconsin 53706 130 Peterson Office Building Your Rights as a Student Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended employers, graduate schools, honor societies, licensing agencies, government agencies and news media. Please consider very carefully the conse- quences of any decision by you to remove these items from the list of "directory information." Should you decide to inform the University not to release any or all of this "directory information," any future requests for such information from non- University persons or organizations will be refused. For example, the University could not release your telephone number, or address to a family member wishing to notify you of a serious illness or crisis in the family. A prospective employer requesting confirmation of your major field of study, address or date of birth would also be denied access to such items should you withdraw them from the list of "directory information." The University will honor your request to withhold any of the ten items listed above but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to re- lease them. Regardless of the effect upon you, the University assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. If you wish to file a form withdrawing some or all of the information in the "directory" classification, you should report to the Registrar's Office, Room 151, Peterson Office Building, and complete the necessary form.

They need to humanize or personalize their operations and relationships with customers and employees. Such problems are opportunities for AGBUSINESS professionals to aid our society and the community of nations. Our Goal Our goal in AGBUSINESS is to sup- port American agriculture so it can feed and clothe the peoples of the world, while simultaneously making this increasingly small and crowded globe a more pleasant, safer place to live. Without innovative, en- terprising, and vigorous AGBUSINESS support, this fundamental dream will fade. Specifics About AGBUSINESS Careers AGBUSINESS careers mirror busi- ness careers in general.

It's that portion of the entire Ameri- can business spectrum that is involved with our enormous agricultural industry. An estimated one-third of all business activity in this country is dependent on agriculture. Farmers buy equipment, fertilizers, feeds, petroleum products, and chemicals from a multitude of companies. Farm prod- ucts are bought, transported, graded, packaged, labeled, and wholesaled before they are ready for consumers to use. For nearly every general business career in the U.S. there is a corresponding specialized career in AGBUSINESS. If your interests are in business-regardless of your racial, ethnic, or social back- ground-we need your talents in AGBUSINESS. More specially trained AGBUSINESS men and women are needed than are now graduating from our colleges and universities. YOU DON'T NEED A FARM BACKGROUND OR ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF AGRICULTURE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN AGBUSI- NESS. That's because agriculture is much more than farms and farming. Several times as many people work in the off-farm parts of agriculture as in agricultural pro- duction. Frankly, for some AGBUSINESS careers a farm background is helpful. But for many more, an agricultural back- ground is not necessary. The main thing you need is an intense interest in business and the specialized training that gives you an edge in any pro- fession-especially AGBUSINESS. Our History Sparkles In partnership with AGBUSINESS, America's farms and farmers reach pro- duction levels that are the envy of the world. Our agricultural success is the prime reason for our unparalleled stan- dard of living. We are among the few nations of the world willing and able to share our agricultural wealth and knowl- edge with those less fortunate. Through AGBUSINESS, our farm, ranch, forest, and marine products reach consumers in a multitude of forms any- time during the year. Our Future Challenges The challenges facing AGBUSI- NESS are huge. Increased food de- mand by a growing world population is straining our agricultural resources and in- creasing the need for new technology and services for our agricultural producers. The distribution chain from businesses to farms and from farms to consumers embraces costly, perhaps needless, inefficiencies. High quality food in endless variety and constant availability is expected and demanded by American consumers. ---
