December 1, 2003 The University of New Mexico has hired John Whittaker as a new director
of Resource Management. He is slated to begin his duties in January 2004.
As director of Resource Management, Whittaker will be responsible for
taking the lead in budget analysis for the academic division, preparing
budget guidelines, coordinating capital outlay requests and special legislative
projects. He will also act as a liaison between the academic and financial
divisions. Whittaker comes to UNM from his position as the Vice Chancellor for Administrative
Affairs at the University of Hawaii at Hilo where he had extensive financial
responsibilities. “We are happy to find a director with this kind of experience for
UNM,” says Provost Brian Foster. “This position requires a person
with a strong background and a great ability to work with many different
constituencies. We’re pleased to have found him.” UNM has 11 degree-granting schools and colleges, including the only schools of Medicine, Law, Pharmacy and Architecture and Planning in the state. The University serves a diverse student population of nearly 30,000 students on five campuses. ### |
