New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas has opened up an investigation involving the recent developments at UNM. The University of New Mexico’s Athletic Department, headed by Paul Krebs, spent over $60,000 of public funds for a week long golf vacation that may violate New Mexico's anti-donation clause.
“...He (Krebs) had full knowledge in 2015,” Balderas said, “that public funds were used to pay for the expenses of private individuals.”
The investigation is coming just weeks after an anonymous individual called the fraud, waste, and abuse hotline with information on the situation.
The University and UNM President Chaouki Abdallah will be in full cooperation with the investigation.
