New Mexico State University considers faculty furloughs

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) – New Mexico State University may furlough faculty members to help trim $10.7 million from the budget.
The Albuquerque Journal reports the university is restructuring while enrollment declines and state funding drops.
University Provost Dan Howard says the faculty has been largely untouched by the process so far, and is the last place to look for cost savings.
He said furloughs are just one of the options up for consideration ahead of June budget decisions.
