New Mexico State University faculty concerned with recommendation to transfer $1.1M to athletics [View all]
LAS CRUCES —New Mexico State University faculty members have voiced opposition to ongoing discussions regarding the athletic department's $4.1 million debt ahead of next week's Board of Regents monthly meeting.
In recent months, Regents Chairwoman Debra Hicks tasked the Athletics Review Committee to "provide recommendations which address leveraging and sustaining the current "moment of success" in Aggie athletics.
That committee recently submitted its report, which is listed as an action item for Tuesday's meeting, following a work session earlier in the day. In the meantime, faculty groups and NMSU administrators have opposed the committee's suggestion of eliminating the debt and/or increasing the annual transfer of funds from the Instruction and General Fund to athletics.
Faculty Senate Chair-Elect Becky Corran told the Sun-News that faculty approved a memorial Thursday in opposition to those particular suggestions in the committee's report.
