ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Latest on University of New Mexico proposal to eliminate sports (all times local):12:55 p.m.

The University of New Mexico Board of Regents has voted in favor of recommendations to eliminate four sports as the school's troubled athletics department works to control its spending.

The unanimous vote came Thursday after dozens of people — from coaches and players to alumni and community members — testified on behalf of preserving the men's soccer team and the skiing and beach volleyball programs.

The decision elicited boos and heckles from the crowd.
