Univ. of Wyoming trims 54 jobs in budget cutting - Bob Moen, Associated Press

The University of Wyoming has eliminated 54 faculty and staff positions to meet state budget cuts, but all the job cuts have been achieved through attrition. The state's only four-year public university also is reducing non-personnel support budgets and scholarships to meet the $11.8 million reduction ordered by the state Legislature and Gov. Matt Mead for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The budget reduction includes a $5.7 million cut in UW support budgets, $3.1 million in personnel costs, $2.4 million in scholarships and graduate education expenses, and $600,000 from the School of Energy Resources. In anticipation of the budget cut, UW began staff and faculty reductions through attrition last year, allowing it to avoid laying anyone off. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2013-05-06/univ-dot-of-wyoming-trims-54-jobs-in-budget-cutting
