UW System President Tommy Thompson says he won’t comply with state lawmakers when it comes to enacting COVID-19 restrictions on campuses.
Thompson says he will go forth with COVID policies for the school year despite a Republican-led committee voting to block universities from enforcing such restrictions as masking and vaccination mandates. Earlier this month, the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules passed a motion that would require UW Board of Regents to get legislative approval before issuing any COVID policies.
