Thompson should impose jab mandate — Roy Christianson

Letter to the editor: Before people nominate UW System President Tommy Thompson for a “Profiles in Courage” award for his refusal to let the Legislature in effect run the UW System, let’s consider the following.

Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, dictate whether mask or vaccine mandates can be used.
