University of Wyoming prepares for budget reduction - Associated Press

University of Wyoming officials are leaving some staff and faculty positions vacant now in hopes of avoiding layoffs in the future. UW President Tom Buchanan said the university is being proactive by preparing now for a possible $15 million-plus budget rollback from the state. University vice presidents met earlier this month and reviewed 84 vacant, non-academic positions, choosing to hold 28 of them open until the budget picture and possible reduction becomes clearer. The 28 vacant positions account for about $716,000 in annual salaries. http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/university-of-wyoming-prepares-for-budget-reduction/article_c42b7d2f-bf95-5e05-b654-feabfa23a257.html
