From the meeting
At its August 11, 2026 meeting, Ben Thomas of New Mexico Tech reported unsafe hazardous chemical storage and waste disposal issues at the university. He said he is still the only hazardous materials safety and waste management person on staff, which limits safe operations for students, staff, and the surrounding community. The signal is a staffing and compliance constraint that could drive consulting, training, or program support discussions.
