The University of Wisconsin System has been asked by leaders of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee to provide detailed information about paid leaves and backup appointments granted to university administrators.
“We write to express our grave concern over the use of backup positions for UW System employees and the availability of paid leaves to faculty, administrators and staff who have resigned from university positions,” Sen. Carol Roessler, R-Oshkosh and Rep. Suzanne Jeskewitz, R-Menomonee Falls, the panel’s co-chairs, said in a letter Monday to UW President Kevin Reilly.
