PORTALES, N.M. (AP) - The Eastern New Mexico University Board of Regents has confirmed its intent to build a new president’s residence.
The Eastern New Mexico News reports the Portales institution previously released a survey to the public seeking input on how the university should move forward after the discovery of asbestos and mold in the president’s residence.
Regent Terry Othick says more than 70 percent of the approximately 650 respondents to the survey felt the home should be remodeled or rebuilt.
The board pledges to find alternative funding sources that will not impact student tuition and fees, university reserves or other planned projects.
Othick says no timeline is set for the project. He hopes to have it addressed over the next few years, but it will depend on when and how much funding the university receives.
