I suspect that most UNM faculty who have been at the institution for well over a decade (or two!), would agree that morale around the institution cannot get much lower. Even in the dark and dismal days of Governor Johnson's reign of Governor NO, matters at UNM were not this demoralizing. They were difficult, for largely different reasons. It would be very, very instructive for the citizens of New Mexico to learn more of the facts (e.g., how the numbers of full-time, tenure-track/tenured faculty for all of the academic units have changed over the past 20 years). In this context, New Mexico's citizens should understand that UNM's "research budget" is by an large almost entirely generated by the faculty, the research scientists, the research professors, etc. What will happen as their numbers decrease????????? </p>pedrotwoTue, 21 Oct 2008 19:56:54 -0000
