The NMSU Board of Regents voted this week to approve a short list of candidates to lead the southern New Mexico college amid declining state funding. Kansas State University College of Agriculture Dean John Floros is listed as a finalist.
Barbara Damron is also listed as a finalist. She will leave her post as secretary of higher education when Gov. Susana Martinez leaves office at the end of the year.
The other finalists are Missouri University of Science and Technology Provost Robert Marley; former president of Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada, Brian Stevenson; and U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory former president Dan Arvizu.
