University of Wyoming Trustees to Take Up Program Cuts
LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — University of Wyoming trustees plan to discuss and possibly act on proposals to eliminate two undergraduate and three graduate programs.
University President Laurie Nichols and Provost Kate Miller will recommend eliminating the bachelor's programs in Russian and secondary industrial technical education. The master's programs in French, German and neuroscience also face elimination.
The trustees plan to take up the proposals Thursday.
Miller says no faculty would be laid off immediately. She says the cuts are proposed not to save money but in response to student interest.
The 13 students currently enrolled in the programs would be allowed to finish their degrees.
