When your university president’s a sports-mad, nepotistic, crony-loving knave who failed as president of two universities before he got to yours, you can certainly expect a lot of bad things to happen.
To its credit, the beyond-demoralized faculty at the University of New Mexico has done no-confidence votes up the wazoo. Hell, everyone on campus makes noise about the wrecking-ball they’ve got for a president (UD took this post’s title from one of many such sentiments in the wake of UNM’s latest travesty, Psycho Soccergirl).
A letter-writer concludes in the same issue of the student newspaper, “It’s yet another example of poor judgment by coaches at the University of New Mexico. One also has to wonder what is going on with the athletics administration and their obvious ineptness in running clean, championship-caliber sports programs. What a sad time this is for UNM sports.”
Not sad. The proper response to your campus having become a house of ill-repute is not sorrow. It is anger.
