Wyoming lawmakers exempted key research institutes from a $40M university budget cut to protect innovation and economic development.
Wyoming lawmakers have exempted the WORTH Institute, the Center for Innovation for Flow through Porous Media, and the High Bay Research Facility from a proposed $40 million cut to the University of Wyoming’s budget.
The move, backed by key lawmakers, aims to protect research and economic development initiatives tied to the state’s land-grant mission.
The WORTH Institute, funded by a $5 million gift, supports outdoor recreation and workforce development, while the High Bay Facility houses labs for energy research.
Critics warn the exemptions may unfairly shift financial burdens to other university units and raise concerns about political influence in budget decisions, as lawmakers increasingly use budget footnotes to shape academic priorities.
