New Mexico State University system announced a broad restructuring plan for three of its campuses as it aims to reduce expenses in the face of declining enrollment across New Mexico and pandemic-related state budget cuts. The system will consolidate leadership at three community colleges across the state -- NMSU Alamogordo, NMSU Carlsbad and NMSU Grants -- so that the institutions will operate as branch campuses under central leadership rather than as stand-alone institutions. System chancellor Dan Arvizu appointed Ken Van Winkle, former president of NMSU Alamogordo, as the branch executive director to lead the transition.
