Adam Neylon on Committee Oversight of UW COVID-19 Policies"},"content":{"rendered":"

State Representative Adam Neylon<\/a> (R-Pewaukee) appeared on WISN’s UPFRONT yesterday to discuss recent action<\/a> by the Legislature’s Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules (JCRAR) that would require UW System to promulgate emergency rules for COVID-19 related policies within 30 days. The committee, which is co-chaired by Neylon and State Senator Steve Nass<\/a> (R-Whitewater), would then approve or suspend the proposed rules.<\/p>\n

Neylon told host Adrienne Pedersen the committee’s intent is to prevent overreach by the university:<\/p>\n

“Too often, we’ve allowed agencies, the administration, the UW System, to circumvent the legislative process in doing these unilateral rules that have the same impact as law, without going through the legal legislative process.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PROFS is strongly opposed to the action of the JCRAR. Our statement is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
