怀俄明州立法者免除主要研究机构为保护创新和经济发展而削减的4 000万加元大学预算。 Wyoming lawmakers exempted key research institutes from a $40M university budget cut to protect innovation and economic development.

怀俄明州立法者已豁免WORTH研究所、多孔媒体流动创新中心和高湾研究设施，免于拟议中对怀俄明大学预算的4000万美元削减。 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. 这项行动在主要立法者的支持下,旨在保护与国家土地赠与任务相关的研究和经济发展倡议。 The move, backed by key lawmakers, aims to protect research and economic development initiatives tied to the state’s land-grant mission. WORTH研究所由价值500万美元的礼品资助,支助户外娱乐和劳动力发展,而高湾设施则设有能源研究实验室。 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. 批评者警告豁免可能会不公平地将财政负担转移给其他大学单位,并引起人们对预算决策的政治影响的关切,因为立法者越来越多地利用预算脚注来决定学术优先事项。 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.
