AG Torrez announces higher education reform legislation to strengthen oversight and accountability

Published Date: Feb 3, 2025

AG Torrez, joined by cosponsors – Senate Finance Chair George Muñoz and Speaker of the House Javier Martínez – introduced a transformative higher education reform package, including a proposed constitutional amendment and enabling legislation, to increase transparency and accountability, and reinforce the essential fiduciary responsibilities of university administrators and Boards of Regents.

“New Mexicans take great pride in our universities, and we must ensure that public dollars meant to educate students are not wasted or misused. This legislation is about reinforcing trust in our institutions—ensuring that financial decisions are made responsibly, contracts are fair, and those in leadership are held to the highest standards of accountability.” – AG Torrez
