This amendment increases the University of Wyoming's general fund appropriation by $40,000,000 and requires the university to conduct a comprehensive organizational review with cost-saving targets, with potential appropriation reduction if savings goals are not met.

• Adds footnote 12 to the University of Wyoming State Aid appropriation, requiring the university to conduct a comprehensive review of its organizational structure, staffing patterns, and operations across all divisions and units to identify duplicative positions, consolidation opportunities, and efficiency improvements. The review must evaluate staffing levels against peer institutions and develop recommendations to reduce the overall number of positions while considering operational needs.
