Wisconsin’s Universities Adopt Neutrality Policy
Wisconsin’s 13-school university system announced an immediate neutrality policy on Friday, limiting officials’ public statements to operational matters while maintaining impartial viewpoints.
The new policy is an outgrowth of UW-Milwaukee’s anti-Israel protest deal where Chancellor Mark Mone agreed to call for a cease-fire in Gaza and discuss cutting ties with Israeli companies.
UW System President Rothman and Jewish groups criticized Chancellor Mone’s deal with anti-Israel protesters, with Rothman calling for campus neutrality and consequences for actions.
The new policy exempts faculty and staff when teaching or sharing field-related expertise but cautions against using university channels to avoid implying institutional positions. Personal statements on non-university platforms are also exempt.

Alternative investments are speculative and possess a high level of risk. No assurance can be given that investors will receive a return of their capital. Those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest. Investments in private placements are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for an indefinite term should not invest. Private credit investments may be complex investments and they are subject to default risk.
