A bill to create a separate Gillette College community college district will go before the Wyoming Senate Education Committee for consideration Wednesday.
Sponsored by Campbell County’s Senator Jeff Wasserburger, Senate File 83 would separate Gillette College from the Northern Wyoming Community College District under which the college was formed in 1969.
In a meeting of Northern Wyoming college district trustees last week, Dr. Walt Tribley, who’s president of the college district, said he had a concern with the measure as currently written.
In a letter sent to several legislators late last week, Dr. Tribley asked that Sheridan College be given $3 million a year in state funds if a new Gillette community college district is established. He said that’s how much Sheridan College will lose if a separate Gillette College district is created, and urged lawmakers to make the allocation part of the bill now being considered.
Wyoming’s community colleges and the University of Wyoming have launched a new website that makes it easier for people to plan and manage college credit transfer.
According to a news release from the Northern Wyoming Community College District, the site – called WyoTransfer – allows students at one college or the university to more easily evaluate how the credits they’ve already earned can transfer or apply toward an educational program at another school.
Dr. Sandy Caldwell, who’s the Wyoming Community College Commission executive director, said WyoTransfer is a one-stop shop geared toward guiding students to completion whether they have some college credit but no degree or no college experience at all.
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.
