Section 5.1.3.6 - OBJECTIVE AND PURPOSE
Several laws passed by congress dealing with higher education call upon the governor of a state to designate an agency to administer various federal programs in the state. On several occasions, the governor of New Mexico has designated the higher education department to be responsible for administering federal programs dealing with higher education, teacher quality and adult basic education in New Mexico. In addition to having responsibility for administering certain acts, the staff is often called upon to serve on advisory committees dealing with other federal legislation and programs, both at the state and federal levels. The purpose of 5.1.3 NMAC is to describe the higher education department's responsibilities for administering certain federal acts.
