From Las Cruces Sun-News: The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government has advised New Mexico State University regents they would violate the state's Open Meeting Act if they negotiated with a presidential candidate over the weekend before publicly announcing their choice.
However, regents chair Mike Cheney said the board doesn't plan to begin negotiations until after they hold a public vote on the chosen candidate, likely Monday afternoon.
The regents announced they will hold a special meeting Monday at 4 p.m. in the Corbett Center. They will hold a closed executive session immediately before to continue discussions on presidential finalists.
The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government is a member of NFOIC. –eds
