President Laurie Nichols presents fully reduced UW budget - JEFF VICTOR, Laramie Boomerang

University of Wyoming officials detailed to lawmakers Thursday a biennium budget reduced by roughly $42 million from the previous biennium. The cuts were made possible by more than a year of faculty and staff reductions, department reorganizations and efforts to make UW run more efficiently. UW also requested $1 million to support a carbon engineering effort during the State Legislature’s Joint Appropriations Committee meeting, as well as an additional $100,000 appropriation for the UW Rodeo team and the remainder of the already appropriated $100 million in Science Initiative funding. http://www.laramieboomerang.com/news/president-laurie-nichols-presents-fully-reduced-uw-budget/article_d2b7eac0-dc8b-11e7-95ba-23138c32763d.html
