N.M. Admin. Code § 5.2.2.6
The objective of Part 2 of Chapter 2 [now 5.2.2 NMAC] is to delineate standards and procedures required to establish publicly supported institutions, learning centers, or campuses of existing institutions or learning centers, whose purpose is to provide or broker post-secondary educational services in New Mexico. These standards and procedures are intended to summarize statutory guidelines for the establishment of higher education institutions as well as to define procedures for the creation of public post-secondary educational learning centers. It is anticipated that these learning centers will provide for rapid response to community needs and will collaborate with existing institutions, public schools, government agencies and the private sector to share resources in ways that promote efficiency and productivity.
