Western to Eliminate and Reorganize 63 Positions

College to host public town hall meeting at its Rock Springs campus Saturday at noon in room 1302.

ROCK SPRINGS — Positions in security, information technology, the print shop, and instructor positions are among 63 positions being reorganized and eliminated at Western Wyoming Community College. When it’s finished, the college will have 33 fewer positions, which represent roughly 10% of its workforce.

An unofficial list of positions submitted to SweetwaterNOW was confirmed by President Kirk Young Friday, though he said the list doesn’t reflect which positions are being eliminated and what’s being reorganized.

Employee notifications occurred throughout the week, starting a 90-day notice period. Young said those employees were offered a 90-day separation agreement during those meetings. T
