Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. The designation of institutions for specialized technical programs is one way in which New Mexico's two-year institutions can function more effectively as a system. Such designation can avoid duplication of effort and make technical education more available to the citizens of the state. This concept also offers the potential for the state to concentrate limited resources on high technology programs which have significant potential to impact the economic development of the state.
B. Programs designated as "programs of technical excellence" may receive supplementary funding on a priority basis. Priority will normally be given to existing programs.
