Silver City, NM — The Western New Mexico University Board of Regents approved a $66.9 million budget for the 2023 fiscal year and discussed upcoming capital project priorities during their meeting Thursday.
Before approving next fiscal year's operating budget, the board approved an adjustment to the current fiscal year's budget, in light of a $571,696 difference in the ending unrestricted instruction and general funds balance and of a difference of $83,914 in restricted instruction and general funds.
Last April, the board approved a $50.9 million budget, and the final fiscal year 2022 budget was $72,768,878.
"We used $5 million in one-time money to increase enrollment, and while 4,000 students didn't materialize, I'm proud of the progress we've made," said WNMU President Dr. Joseph Shepard. "This budget moves us downward in terms of our reserves, because we're moving into a second year of the 4K initiative. It's a managed risk."
The board also approved the university's five-year plan for capital outlay projects, listing as the highest priorities a $15-million, 25,000-square-foot vocational training center in the mining district and a $15-million, 30,000-square foot College of Education and early childhood building.

Today marked the final stage of the Tour of the Gila, known as the Gila Monster.
By locals this route is called the "Inner Loop." The riders leave Gough Park at staggered times in the morning, then head to Santa Clara, then out to the Mimbres, then back to P.A. The Men's Elite (UCI Men) add some miles by leaving the Sapillo and heading to the Cliff Dwellings National Monument Visitor Center then back to P.A. The Men's Elite race covers 100.6 miles, reaches descent speeds of over 60 miles per hour and they climb more than 9,360 feet; thus is why it is considered to be one of the most challenging and grueling courses in North America.
