A University of Wisconsin computer technician who claimed she lost an opportunity for a permanent job for speaking out about conditions for limited-term employees (LTE) will receive $145,000 to settle her First Amendment lawsuit against the Board of Regents.
Assistant Attorney General Michael Bauer said Monday that instead of going to trial last week, the state reached a tentative agreement with Wanda Ashman, who has a permanent part-time job with the UW-Madison College of Letters and Sciences.
