University of Wyoming board votes to approve trimmed-down budget - Seth Klamann, Trib

The University of Wyoming closed “the chapter of UW budget reductions,” President Laurie Nichols said Wednesday, when its Board of Trustees approved the school’s budget for the 2018 fiscal year. The action, all but a formality after officials presented the budget to the board last month, ends a tough 12 months for the university. The state’s sole four-year university lost roughly $42 million in funding as a result of the economic downturn in Wyoming; it laid off 37 staff members in mid-May and announced more than $29 million in current and future cuts. http://trib.com/news/local/education/university-of-wyoming-board-votes-to-approve-trimmed-down-budget/article_515b7809-f03a-5fea-967c-3b9d20aad90c.html
