ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The spending of public money by the University of New Mexico's athletic department on a 2015 golf trip to Scotland that included the athletic director, other employees and boosters is being reviewed by the state Auditor's Office, the agency confirmed Wednesday. The review comes as the state's universities and colleges are being forced to consider tuition increases and other cuts as New Mexico grapples with a budget crisis. Athletic director Paul Krebs is drawing criticism as more details about the international junket emerge following a series of public records requests filed by journalists, some of which netted documents with large swaths of information that had been blacked out. Krebs has said the $65,000 trip was meant to strengthen relationships with donors, but critics argue that it should have been paid for by the university's independent fundraising arm, not with athletic department money. Albuquerque television station KRQE (http://bit.ly/2qcaN03 ) reported this week that Krebs revealed that public money was used to pay for the trips of at least three boosters. The university told the Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/2rUmMM0 ) that possible discipline against Krebs was being considered. University officials were not immediately available to answer questions Wednesday.Read more on NewsOK.com
