Governor asks University of Wyoming to cut $35 million more - BOB MOEN, Casper Star Tribune

Providing the first hard numbers on how the state's deepening budget crisis is affecting Wyoming, Gov. Matt Mead said the University of Wyoming needs to cut $35 million from its just-approved two-year budget because of falling state energy revenues. The $35 million is on top of nearly $6 million lawmakers cut from the state's only public, four-year university during the legislative session that ended in early March, Mead said. Mead delivered the grim news in person to the UW Board of Trustees on Wednesday afternoon. http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/governor-asks-university-of-wyoming-to-cut-million-more/article_6a05abb2-0c9d-5c41-8568-75afefb305f3.html
