(MADISON) The legislature’s most vocal critic of the University of Wisconsin System will chair the state Assembly’s higher education committee in the upcoming session. Whitewater Republican Steve Nass has at times been a thorn in the side of the UW, but he says it’s always been for good reason. Nass has criticized the University for a 26-million dollar contract that went awry; for offering backup appointments to some employees; and for hiring instructor Kevin Barrett, who says the federal government helped orchestrate the 9-11 attacks.
