Green River Star - University of Wyoming proposes 75 layoffs, program changes
July 15, 2021 CASPER — The University of Wyoming on Tuesday proposed sweeping changes at the institution, including budget cuts that would lay off 75 positions — some tenured, a reorganization of a slew of academic departments, and the formation of a school of computing — among other additions. The proposal must be approved by the university’s board of trustees, which meets all this week in Torrington. If approved, it would still require a formal public review for 120 days, a process mandated by the university’s regulation 2-13. Trustees are expected to hear much of this proposal Wednesday, but that body was primed months ago for these kinds of changes by university administrators.
