THE COMMUNITY AND UNM STUDENTS AREN’T THE ONLY ONES WHO DISAGREE WITH THE SCHOOL’S BOARD OF REGENTS CUTTING FOUR SPORTS PROGRAMS TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. NEW MEXICO’S TWO CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR ARE ALSO AGAINST IT.
DEMOCRAT MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM AND REPUBLICAN STEVE PEARCE OPPOSE ENDING MEN’S SOCCER, MEAN AND WOMAN’S SKI PROGRAMS, AND WOMEN’S BEACH VOLLEYBALL AND LUJAN GRISHAM SAYS IF SHE’S ELECTED GOVERNOR, SHE’LL WORK WITH THE LEGISLATURE TO REINSTATE THOSE SPORTS. SHE AND PEARCE BOTH SAY UNM NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE ON THIS.
