Hmm, Wyoming is a tiny state with a very small higher education footprint. The only college that fits the description of this is Wyo Tech, a small for-profit automotive technology school (not a university--Wyoming only has one and it is still going strong and has tenure). They used to be owned by Corinthian schools with Wyomng Technical College campuses in many states. The government went after Corinthian for gainful employment infractions, forcing them to close or sell all their higher education holdings. The original Wyoming Technical College in Laramie was purchased by a different company, and reopened as WyoTech. This may very well have disenfranchised the old established faculty/staff, but that was not the driving force behind it--the federal government forced this because it felt students were getting charged too much and were not given the outcomes they were promised. Students at the Corinthian colleges are among those that will most likely get student loan debt forgiven.
