Leadership Shakeup at Western New Mexico University. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has called for the immediate resignation of the regents at Western New Mexico University (WNMU) in light of allegations of financial mismanagement and inadequate oversight. This demand, outlined in a year-end letter to the five-member board of regents, emphasizes the need for new leadership to restore stability at the Silver City-based University. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham urged for a “clean slate” to realign the institution’s focus on its students. This request comes on the heels of the board’s chairwoman stepping down earlier in the week.
