Central Wyoming College eases into the spring semester

Central Wyoming College plans to ease students and employees back to campus for the spring semester. CWC went to phase one before Thanksgiving break due to the rise in COVID-19 cases. The decision was made to help slow down the spread and keep students and employees safe as they went home for the holiday break. Now the plan is to bring back essential employees including employees who serve students, to campus on Jan. 5. The spring semester officially starts on Jan. 11; however, students will be remote learning until Jan. 18, where select classes that require a high demand for hands-on learning will start to ease students back to the classrooms. Jan. 25 is the target date to have all classes back to face-to-face instruction.

Higher ed faces steep cuts with recent oil bust

A view of Central Wyoming College s campus The Wyoming Community College System was already struggling with budget cuts before the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down. The system s budget was about $54 million in the hole at $236 million, through a combination of cuts and revenues not keeping pace with inflation. Now, it s down about $94 million, according to Sandra Caldwell, executive director of the Wyoming Community College Commission. Declines in oil and gas revenue among other extraction industries are at least partly to blame. As a state, Wyoming is dependent on its extraction industries, which include coal, oil, trona and natural gas. The state s Consensus Revenue Estimating Group doesn t expect oil production will recover enough to offset declines until 2022.
