LAS CRUCES, N.M. —

The new interim president for New Mexico State University was named during a meeting Wednesday morning. 

Manuel T. Pacheco will be the interim president of NMSU.

His salary was set at $360,000.

The move comes after NMSU President Barbara Couture abruptly stepped down last week following a mysterious administrative leave. 

The state Board of Regents accepted Couture's resignation in what board Chairman Mike Cheney described as a mutually agreeable separation. 

Regents didn't provide any specific reasons for Couture's resignation, but said she has accepted a position as senior adviser for the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.
