UW Audit of Employment Practices Requested

I've been covering (and demanding for) this for months, and it looks like it's going to happen.

We are writing this letter to respectfully request that the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, under your leadership as Co-Chairwomen, consider performing a comprehensive audit and review of the UW-System employment policies to determine exactly how many convicted felons are still employed by the UW despite their criminal convictions. Many taxpayers, students, and parents are deeply concerned about the UW’s policy of allowing convicted felons to maintain their employment within the UW despite their criminal backgrounds and they also deserve to know exactly how many serious felons are being employed by the UW.

The letter is signed by 9 State Reps. One had to have been blind to what's going on at the UW to not see this was coming.

Also, you can guess, given everything else (Barrows, back-up jobs for housekeepers), it's not going to end with just the number of felons on staff.
