The Old Main building on the University of Wyoming campus
This week the University of Wyoming (UW) announced some big plans. After already reducing $42 million, the university had to cut another $13 million. Those cuts will involve the loss of roughly 75 jobs.
Along with that, UW announced it s consolidating a number of departments, and shifting science and math programs from the College of Arts and Sciences to the Colleges of Engineering and Agriculture.
This all comes at a time when UW lost a lot of revenue due to the pandemic. President Ed Seidel said the reductions are hard, but now they must find ways to make coming to UW attractive despite all of this.

More than 100 members of the University of Wyoming community have agreed to serve on groups charged with developing a university strategic plan to recommend to President Ed Seidel and the UW Board of Trustees later this spring.
In addition to a 13-member Strategic Scenario Planning Team, five groups have been assembled to address specific pieces in the planning process. Their work, including solicitation of input from across the university and around the state, will help the administration chart the university’s course for the future.
Strategic scenario planning is taking place concurrently with reviews of academic and other programs of the university in response to significant budget reductions driven by losses of state funding.
