Nine Republican lawmakers are asking for an independent state audit to determine how many felons are employed by the University of Wisconsin System.
Led by state Rep. Scott Suder, R- Abbotsford, the group hand-delivered a letter Friday to the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, which handles requests for audits to the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau. Suder previously asked System President Kevin Reilly to provide the information after recent news reports about three UW-Madison professors who were convicted of serious crimes but remain employed by the university pending internal investigations and/or appeals.
