New Mexico U Fires President Without Cause

New Mexico Highlands University has fired President Neil Woolf in a unanimous board vote, with no “for cause” explanation—meaning he’ll still get his full pay, benefits, and severance.

With legal action looming, the university braces for more revelations as it enters a new chapter. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
