The Western Wyoming Community College Board of Trustees approved a declaration of financial emergency during a virtual meeting on Thursday night, which could lead to up to $1.81 million in cuts -- including programs and positions -- in the current school year. Prior to the board passing the declaration, multiple students, teachers, alumni and stakeholders from the community encouraged the board to make sure the reductions were fair, thoughtful and considerate. At one point, 133 people were in attendance at the virtual meeting, which Board President Regina Clark said may not have fit in their normal meeting room.
