Hay visits UNM, again

Jessica Hitch | December 18

This isn’t presidential finalist Meredith Hay’s first time as a top five finalist in a UNM presidential search, but she says she’s better prepared for the job this time around. In 2007 she made it to the final five in the presidential search that ended with President David Schmidly’s appointment. Hay said during her on-campus meet and greet with students and staff Tuesday that now she’s better suited to being UNM’s next president after helping the University of Arizona manage a $180 million cut in state appropriation during her tenure as provost there.
