NM Supreme Court orders foundation records be made public

Records kept by foundations that fundraise and invest for New Mexico's public universities will be public records based on a court order issued this week, attorneys involved in the case said.

The New Mexico Supreme Court on Wednesday issued an order that lets stand previous decisions that said certain records held by the UNM Foundation and the Lobo Club — nonprofit organizations that raise money for the University of New Mexico and its athletics department — are not exempt from state Inspection of Public Records Act requests.
