UW alums, teachers plead for protection from cuts - Seth Klamann, Casper Star-Tribune

University of Wyoming instructors and alumni asked president Laurie Nichols to protect their programs in the face of dwindling state funds during a listening session Monday at Casper College. The meeting was the sixth of 10 such events Nichols and various UW officials will hold as the university looks to draft a strategic plan for its next five years. The university officials did not answer questions but listened to comments and concerns from some of the roughly 80 attendees. Those perspectives will be taken into account as UW makes its strategic plan, Nichols said. The majority were related to state budget cuts. http://www.wyomingnews.com/news/uw-alums-teachers-plead-for-protection-from-cuts/article_8d241622-bd1b-11e6-903e-5b2ce28dc723.html
