NMSU to eliminate 57 positions due to funding decrease
LAS CRUCES, New Mexico - Citing a decrease in funding during the pandemic, New Mexico State University leaders announced the elimination of 57 positions for the 2021 fiscal year. We try to minimize the impact on every unit, said NMSU President John Floros in his university town hall last week.
About 55 minutes into the town hall, the university s vice president of student success and enrollment outlined the $11 million budget reduction for fiscal year 2021.

The 57 positions on the chopping block include 39 staffers and 18 faculty members, according to the presentation. We had to work through the summer and the last fall to figure out how we were going to deal with some pretty severe budget cuts, Floros said.

Wendel Hann ducks into his trailer to fetch an order for a customer. Hann and his Gila River Ranch meat products are a fixture at the Silver City Farmers’ Market, which operates every Saturday year-round in a covered area at 907 N. Pope St., just north of College Avenue on the north end of downtown.
The demand for his American Grassfed Association-certified meats is ※almost more than I can handle,” said Wendell Hann, owner of the Gila River Ranch in the Cliff-Gila Valley.
Accordingly, Hann said he was among the many ranchers in New Mexico who were disappointed that the N.M. Senate failed to pass District 38 state Rep. Rebecca Dow’s House Bill 33, titled ※Livestock Board Meat Inspections.”
