IF YOU HAVE A SON OR DAUGHTER ATTENDING NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY, YOU COULD SEE AN INCREASE IN TUITION. THE SCHOOL IS FACING LESS STATE FUNDING AND IS CONSIDERING THREE OPTIONS TO DEAL WITH THE SHORTFALL.
THE BOARD OF REGENTS WILL BE ASKED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN NO INCREASE AT ALL, WHICH BRINGS WITH IT A 10-MILLION DOLLAR CUT, OR AN INCREASE OF 2-POINT-5 PERCENT OR 5 PERCENT. EITHER OPTION WILL STILL REQUIRE SOME CUTS.
THE LAS CRUCES SUN-NEWS REPORTS ANY CUTS WOULD BE “STRATEGIC.”
