What about the information at the main wisc.edu page, which says, "Copyright © 2003 The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System."?

Reponse to above:

The website of the UPL, http://www.upl.cs.wisc.edu, from which the text comes, contains content authored by us (and a copyright notice indicating we are the copyright holders)

The information used in the entry is a blurb written by us on our webpage we wish to replicate on the Wikipedia. It has nothing to do with content from the main University of Wisconsin page (wisc.edu)

If I post some code I wrote on my website (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~dynerman) does that mean that code is copyright to the Board of Regents? Of course not, the copyright belongs to me. This situation is directly analogous.
