The New Mexico Highlands University Board of Regents has dismissed President Neil Woolf, roughly a month after he and several other top university leaders were placed on paid administrative leave with little explanation, KRQE reported.
The board acknowledged in a statement that Woolf was removed without cause and vowed to comply with the terms of his contract, including “applicable separation pay, final compensation and accrued benefits.”
