Information is available here (http://lovingthebigisland.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/closuing-the-university-of-wyoming-geological-museum-a-travesty-of-funding-misallocation/). The University has decided that supporting lack-luster athletic programs is more important than supporting this stellar academic program; additionally, many UW trustees, State Senators and Congressmen are fundamentalist christians and want to close the museum on religious grounds. Closure of any museum is a danger to all museums. Please write to voice your outrage.
