As a result, the WCCC worked on behalf of the colleges and, in some respects, the University of Wyoming and private institutions to ensure student success and operational institutions. The WCCC worked across the funding sources of three primary components of CARES funding to focus on three specific phases of operations: 1. Mitigation; 2. Recovery and Re-Entry; and 3. Return to the New Normal. In order to achieve supporting the community colleges and higher education students statewide, the institutions had three primary sources of CARES funds: • HEERF Funds—Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund provided a direct distribution from USDE to the IHE equally split between institutional operations and student grants.

As such, the University and K12 education entities are expressly stated within the constitution, but the community colleges are not. Article 7 of the Wyoming Constitution states that the “Legislature shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a complete and uniform system of public instruction, embracing free elementary schools of every needed kind and grade, a university with such technical and professional departments as the public good may require and the means of the state allow, and such other institutions as may be necessary (emphasis added).” Although not specifically stated in the constitution, the latter statement and subsequent Legislative actions indicate a broad understanding that the community colleges are “necessary institutions” of education for Wyoming. The community colleges have been specifically added to the Wyoming Statutes consistently since inception with the role of the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC), which serves as the representative agency for coordination, advocacy, funding, and efficiency/accountability on behalf of the State and community college education statewide.
