University of New Mexico challenged over sports cuts - RUSSELL CONTRERAS, Associated Press

The attorney general of New Mexico announced Thursday that his office will take the University of New Mexico to court unless its board of regents reconsiders a decision to eliminate four sports. Attorney General Hector Balderas gave the university 15 days to respond to an opinion by his office that the school violated state open meetings laws when it moved to cut men's soccer, men's and women's skiing and women's beach volleyball. "The clock is ticking," Balderas said at a news conference. "They violated state law and the actions they took are invalid." University spokeswoman Cinnamon Blair said she didn't know about the news conference and had not seen the remarks. https://siouxcityjournal.com/sports/university-of-new-mexico-challenged-over-sports-cuts/article_fb7db663-cdc1-5992-817d-c0eb8674a354.html
