The University of Wyoming will see money for new construction and a pay bonus for employees from the supplemental budget approved by the Legislature this winter. However, UW will be required to reduce operations funding by 6%. UW President Tom Buchanan says in a statement that the employee bonuses is significantly less than what was requested for continuing salary increases. But Buchanan says he hopes it's a first step toward recognizing that good university employees are necessary and deserving of merit pay increases after four years of no raises. He noted the 6% reduction is less of a decrease than many state agencies experienced. Under the budget bill, UW is slated to receive $70 million for construction projects.
Well, it’s good to know that they University will get the money for their needs. We live in tough economic times and I think that it would be complicated to find the money for the new construction and pay bonuses to teachers. Fortunately, now they have the money to cover expenses. I know that University’s employees sometimes have to use Same Day Loans Payday website to make ends meet so they will be glad to receive their bonuses!
