Domestic partner benefits debate returns to spotlight with hiring of new leader

In December 2006, the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents unanimously voted to include domestic partner benefits as part of their pay plan for 2007-08 budget year.

Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle similarly introduced domestic partner benefits in the last two biennial budgets and plans to include it in the 2009-11 budget.

But despite both the state and university efforts, the clause was removed as a compromise in order to pass the budget, leaving UW-Madison as the only school in the Big Ten to not offer benefits for the same-sex partners of its faculty.
