In order to open more lines of communication and bring more transparency to the operations of the University of New Mexico, UNM President David J. Schmidly has posted several key documents on his website for easy access and viewing. To view these documents, please visit President Schmidly’s Web site at: President Schmidly.
During his first 80+ days on the job, Schmidly has worked with his leadership team to develop a vision document for the University titled, “UNM in the 21st Century – A New President’s Vision.” This document serves as a comprehensive guide to what President Schmidly sees as the future of the state’s flagship university.
At their August 14 meeting, the UNM Board of Regents unanimously approved a dozen goals and major milestones for the President to accomplish. The aim of this document is to guide the president and his executive leadership team as they work on an ambitious agenda for the university and the State of New Mexico. It will also serve as the basis of the President’s annual evaluation.
“I am a strong believer in evaluation,” said Schmidly, “It is the only way to move the institution forward.”
Additionally, President Schmidly has directed the office of Institutional Research to develop a 5-year academic ledger for the entire university. This document provides information on UNM’s student body, faculty, research revenues and expenditures, fundraising data, tuition data, and others. A similar document is being completed for the Health Sciences Center.
Also available online is the President’s Report, which is presented to the Board of Regents at its regular meeting. This report highlights the accomplishments of the university.
President Schmidly urges university stakeholders to review each of these documents and offer suggestions via e-mail. You can e-mail President Schmidly at: unmpres@unm.edu with comments on these documents or for any other issue.
