New Mexico State University faculty members are considering forming a union after President John Floros recently announced faculty cuts were possible amid the pandemic. The Las Cruces Sun-News reports university regents approved a budget reduction after the state took money to accommodate for its COVID-19 pandemic response. The revised budget means a 10.5% budget cut to the main campus. Every unit at New Mexico State needs to submit plans to Floros by Sept. 15 for a 6%, 9%, and 12% budget cut. But comments by Floros upset faculty even more.
