NMSU Announces Presidential Selection Committee

The Board of Regents has announced the Presidential Selection Committee as the process of appointing the new President of New Mexico State University.

Former Regents President Adelmo “Del” Archuleta will chair the committee. Other members who were announced on Friday are: College of Business Dean Garrey Carruthers, NMSU Grants President Felicia Casados, Las Cruces City Councilor Dolores Connor, student body President Travis Dulany, Faculty Senate Chair Chris Erickson, New Mexico Association of Counties Director Paul Gutierrez, former basketball coach Lou Henson, NMSU Cooperative Extension Service Eastern District Director Bruce Hinrichs and College of Agriculture Assistant Dean Tim Nesbitt.

As announced last week, Interim President Dr. Waded Cruzado stepped down and resumed her old duties as Provost.

There has been political outcry from local legislators and the NMSU community. All we can hope for is a fair and honest selection process and that they committee will do whats best for NMSU and not let political pressure dictate their direction.
