CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — The U.S. Education Department is conducting separate investigations of the University of Wyoming, Northwest Community College and the Natrona County School District.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports the investigations at UW and Northwest Community College both involve separate cases of sexual violence and retaliation, while the Natrona County district investigations involve one for sexual violence and another for retaliation related to disability discrimination.
