The court continued: “[The Board is] ‘an administrative body or arm of the government, which in the course of its administration of a law is empowered to ascertain some questions of fact and apply the existing law thereto, and in so doing acts quasi -judicially; but it is not thereby vested with judicial power in the constitutional sense.’ ” (124 N.W.2d 123, 127.) The authority to make money awards, the court held, has the same “status”—in terms of its effect on “governing personal conduct”—as does the board’s recognized authority to issue cease and desist orders. “Thus, we find no violation under sec. 2, Art. VII of the Wisconsin Constitution which vests judicial power in the courts.” (Ibid.)
