ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The longest serving member of the University of New Mexico regents has resigned from the school’s governing board after 18 years.
The Albuquerque Journal (https://bit.ly/2rf7QM9 ) reports that Regent Jack Fortner submitted his letter of resignation Tuesday.
Fortner’s most recent six-year term expired last December, but regents can continue serving until their replacement is confirmed by the New Mexico Senate.
Fortner told the Journal that he didn’t want to be a distraction to the university.
He’s a full-time attorney in Farmington and says he will focus more attention on his position as San Juan County Commission chairman.
