A state lawmaker wants to conduct his own investigation – complete with subpoena powers – of personnel policies at the University of Wisconsin. In a letter to Assembly Speaker John Gard released Wednesday, Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, asked that the Assembly Labor Committee he chairs be given the go-ahead for such a probe.
Nass cited Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager’s decision this week not to undertake a similar investigation and said it would be “imprudent” for the Legislature to accept the results of an internal UW review.
