The UNM Student Publications Board, hereafter known as the Board, is publisher of the student publications: Conceptions Southwest, Limina, UNM Nonfiction Review (formerly known as Best Student Essays), and the New Mexico Daily Lobo. As such, the Board is an advocate for the interests and well-being of the students who comprise the respective staffs and provides oversight of publishing operations of the student publications. In addition, the Board has the authority to determine policy, to select the editors, to maintain the editorial freedom of these publications and to assure that these publications serve the students of the University of New Mexico, subject to the statutory and constitutional authority placed in the Board of Regents. 

Content is the product of student effort and is controlled by student editors and managers. The student press at the University of New Mexico is free of censorship and advance approval of content. Students alone are responsible for the content, design and character of the publications they produce.

The Student Publications Board shall be composed of the following voting members:
