5.1.3.6 OBJECTIVE AND PURPOSE:
Several laws passed by congress dealing with higher education call upon
the governor of a state to designate an agency to administer various federal
programs in the state. On several occasions, the governor of New Mexico has
designated the higher education department to be responsible for administering
federal programs dealing with higher education, teacher quality and adult basic
education in New Mexico. In addition to having responsibility for administering
certain acts, the staff is often called upon to serve on advisory committees
dealing with other federal legislation and programs, both at the state and
federal levels. The purpose of 5.1.3 NMAC is to describe the higher education
department’s responsibilities for administering certain federal acts.
