COLLEGE S IN MEXICOI

sed questions about Shepard's spending in 2023. The news outlet found Shepard had taken lengthy trips to Greece, Spain and Zambia to recruit international students, though fewer than 100 of WNMU's 3,500 students hailed from abroad in 2023. More than a third of those students came from Mexico, with the border three hours away.

Shepard also spent $12,000 to lease a home in Santa Fe, the state capital, for two months.

And he furnished his campus home with a reported spending spree of $27,740, justifying the expenditures as the cost of doing business, arguing potential donors who visited his campus home were accustomed to "the finer things in life," he told Searchlight New Mexico.

Shepard has subsequently suggested that the narrative has been twisted, noting in his resignation letter that "there is no $27,000 couch" but rather that he spent $4,500 on one couch and bought two more for $5,500 each
