Northwest College to Cut 12% of Workforce Due to Budget Cuts Written by Andrew-Rossi on January 12, 2021 Up to 25 positions might be axed as Northwest College tries to offset its current budget shortfall with the cuts anticipated in the years to come. An internal “Reduction of Force” memo sent Monday afternoon from Interim President Lisa Watson to Northwest College employees shows the extent of the layoffs. The NWC Board of Trustees received and reviewed the memo and is proposed budget cuts during their Jan. 11 meeting. As of January 2021, NWC has an estimated budget shortfall of $2.6 million. Furthermore, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has released a mandate that reduced funding for all state entities by 15% – a direct result of the pandemic’s impact on the state’s revenues.
