The University of Wisconsin System is finally showing it’s serious about getting to the bottom of — and hopefully putting to rest — controversy surrounding its hiring practices.
UW System President Kevin Reilly this week asked state lawmakers for a state audit of university policies. The probe should concentrate on backup jobs, paid leaves and pay for felons.
Reilly’s support for the audit is on top of the System’s own internal review, the results of which are due next month. Reilly also has suspended backup jobs for new hires.
