Legislator says convicted UW professors must go (AP)

A legislator has lashed out at University of Wisconsin-Madison officials for not immediately dismissing several professors who have been convicted of crimes and keeping two of them on the payroll while they serve time behind bars.

Rep. Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford, said Tuesday that once university employees are convicted of a crime, they should be dismissed immediately and given no pay.
