On Campus: No resume required for $245,000-a-year University of Wisconsin System job

The University of Wisconsin System offered a $245,000 per year position to Wisconsin Department of Administration secretary Michael Morgan without requesting his resume, records show. The hire was criticized as political patronage by Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater. Morgan would have been out of a job when Gov. Jim Doyle left office next year. The university offered Morgan the job as vice president for administration and fiscal affairs without conducting a national search.
