Efforts to keep WyoTech open in Laramie continue to gain momentum as a private party enters the stage with a proposal to purchase the institution and continue courses with a for-profit model.
Jim Mathis, a former WyoTech student, instructor and president, said he drafted a proposal to acquire the WyoTech Laramie campus and presented it to the Education Credit Management Corporation, which owns several nonprofit colleges nationwide including WyoTech.
“I bleed WyoTech blood,” Mathis said. “I started off as a student at WyoTech and was teaching there by 19 years old. I became the campus president in 1996, and left in 2002 when it was sold to Corinthian (Colleges). Anything I can do to help this community and WyoTech — I want to do it.”
