Aiming to reduce its faculty and staff budgets without layoffs, the University of Wyoming has begun holding some positions open to prepare for a state budget cut of up to $15.7 million in fiscal year 2014. The actions are in line with UW's budget reduction plan presented in May to Gov. Matt Mead. Anticipating declines in state revenues, the governor in April asked state agencies to plan for possible 8 percent budget reductions for the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2013. On Oct. 3, UW's vice presidents reviewed 84 vacant non-academic staff positions and chose to hold open 28. The non-academic staff positions are scattered across numerous campus units, including Academic Affairs, Administration and Finance, Athletics, Information Technology, the President's Office, the Office of Research and Economic Development and Student Affairs. The next quarterly meeting to review vacant non-academic positions will take place in January.
