LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico State University employees both current and future will see fewer benefits in an effort to lower costs.
The Board of Regents approved several changes to employee benefits during a meeting on Monday.
For example, current employees who leave or retire will no longer get their unused sick days paid out.
For employees hired on or after July 1, there will be no retiree health coverage available and they'll have fewer annual leave days at the beginning of their tenure.
NMSU Chancellor Garrey Carruthers said the changes put the university on a "more secure financial footing."
