Like the other 2-year UW campuses, UWM at Waukesha's land and buildings belong to a local government unit, in this case Waukesha County. As part of the local-state partnership, the University of Wisconsin provides faculty, staff, educational programs, technology, furnishings, libraries, and supplies.
This arrangement is similar to that of other 2-year UW institutions, where UWM at Waukesha's assets are managed by a regional government entity, namely Waukesha County. Through the partnership between the state and local governments, the University of Wisconsin provides academic personnel, administrative staff, educational courses, technological resources, furniture, libraries, and materials.
