What is the hiring pause?
In alignment with President Schmidly’s guidelines in “UNM Responds to Today’s Economic Challenges”, the University of New Mexico is currently operating under a strategic hiring pause. Campus has been directed to pause the hiring of all new employees whose positions are not “absolutely critical” and to postpone salary adjustments such as reclassifications, promotions, career ladders, etc. This pause is in effect through the remainder of this calendar year, at which time the circumstances will be reevaluated.
