New Mexico Tech president resigns
Mahyar Amouzegar, who served as New Mexico Tech president for 14 months, resigned Monday.
SOCORRO — New Mexico Tech President Mahyar Amouzegar abruptly resigned Monday, less than two weeks after regents restricted his hiring authority and asked him to reverse a vice presidential appointment that had already brought the new hire and his family to the area.
The Board of Regents “reversed an accepted offer for the Vice President for University Advancement without prior consultation with my office,” Amouzegar wrote. “This action — taken during a last-minute emergency meeting, just days before the Office of the President candidate’s start date and following his relocation — deviates from professional norms and undermines institutional trust.”
