Extracted Content: The University of Wyoming on Tuesday proposed sweeping changes at the institution, including budget cuts that would lay off 75 positions — some tenured — a reorganization of a slew of academic departments, and the formation of a school of computing, among other additions.
The proposal must be approved by the university’s board of trustees, which is meeting all this week in Torrington. If approved, it would still require a formal public review for 120 days, a process mandated by the university’s regulation 2-13. Trustees were expected to hear much of this proposal Wednesday, but that body was primed months ago for these kinds of changes by university administrators.
