State, national and international media frequently feature the University of Wyoming and members of its community in stories. Here is a summary of some of the recent coverage:
Lawmakers last week restored $8 million in appropriations to both UW and the state’s community colleges, along with an additional $15.5 million for UW to buy a student housing complex. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle and The Casper Star-Tribune (CS-T) reported that Gov. Mark Gordon signed the overall supplemental budget. Yahoo! News, County 10 and The Rocket Miner published similar articles.
College Consensus ranked UW as the 23rd “Best Value Colleges and Universities for 2021.” Tuition costs were the main focus of the annual “Top 100 Most Affordable Consensus Ranked Schools 2021” list by the educational resource website.

University of Wyoming officials are investigating after a virtual Black History Month event was interrupted this week with racial slurs and pornographic images.
The incident occurred during a Monday panel discussion about the film “Black Wall Street: Before they Die!” the Casper Star-Tribune reported.
About 30 minutes into the discussion, a pornographic image and a racial slur appeared on the screen of the event held over Zoom.

A pornographic video was also seen, and a voice said “KFC and watermelon,” “porch monkey” and other slurs.
Frederick Douglass Dixon, director of the University of Wyoming’s Black Studies Center, said as the incident was ongoing that “There is nothing like real-time.”

Albany County Sheriff Aaron Appelhans still has some work to do before his office is set up. The walls are mostly empty as stacks of framed pictures sit on shelves and the floor, paperwork piled high obscures the desktop. Behind it all sits the new sheriff, making sense of the opportunity he’s seized.
“It was a bit of a whirlwind for the first week,” Appelhans said with a laugh. “But it’s been overwhelmingly positive.”
