Intervening in a matter of intense interest to his son, Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker has asked legislative auditors to review whether student government at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has been given enough power. After receiving Deckerâ??s request by telephone, the Legislative Audit Bureau has started an inquiry into whether the school has complied with state law and UW policy on student control and oversight of fee budgets. Deckerâ??s son Jeffrey Decker, a former student senator, has spent years accusing UW-Stevens Point employees of reducing the role of students in deciding how their fees are spent.
