Attorney General asks University of New Mexico President for athletics' financial records
New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas on Tuesday sent a letter to University of New Mexico Interim President Chaouki Abdallah requesting records regarding recent revelations of uncollected payments for suites in the Pit.
UNM on Monday revealed there was $432,000 in uncollected money for use of 24 suites in the Pit dating back to the 2010-11 season.
The Journal obtained a copy of the attorney general’s letter on Tuesday afternoon. In it, Balderas states:
“Public educational institutions such as the University of New Mexico (“UNM”) must be accountable and responsible in ensuring that amounts due are collected in a timely, efficient, and complete manner. I was concerned to learn that the UNM may have failed to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in connection with suites at the University Arena (“the Pit”), with some unpaid accounts dating back as far as the 2010-2011 basketball season.”
