The New Mexico State University Board of Regents, citing declining state appropriations decided to jack student tuition and fees by a whopping 7.9 percent on Friday. We have invited New Mexico Democratic Party Chairman and current NMSU Regent Javier Gonzales back on the show hoping we can ask him to elaborate on the resource management, funding priorities, and decision-making processes that led to such sharp rate increases on students during difficult economic times.

Belt-tightening: If you mean reducing the number of low paid workers then yes. If you mean reducing the bloated and disfunctional administration, then no. NMSU has grown the top levels well out of proportion to the need. The best measure would be to look at he total numbers of administrators at NMSU around 1970, then double that number as an estimate of what might be necessary. But then none of the current admin at NMSU comes close to the abilities and capabilities of those admins of 1970. The pyramid is topling. There are more admins than necessary. But they make the decisions on where to cut and "ain't nobody gonna cut no buds." It's time for the state to require all reductions to start from the top down. Administrators are the most overpaid and under needed of all state employees.
