UW officials hopeful despite budget roadblocks - Jeff Victor, Laramie Boomerang

The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees is scheduled to hear the full findings of a recently completed capacity study during its meeting next week. While the study suggests UW has the capacity to add roughly 800 to 1,700 students in the coming years given current infrastructure and course loads, it also turned up a few obstacles standing between UW and its dreams of expansion. These bottlenecks — areas where demand outpaces or strains current resources — are partially the result of a $42 million budget reduction completed by UW during the most recent two-year budget cycle. The College of Business, for example, is serving more students with fewer professors this semester, Associate Dean Kent Drummond said. http://trib.com/news/local/education/uw-officials-hopeful-despite-budget-roadblocks/article_dc2609f0-602d-5867-8974-7a2cd4a2deb5.html
