Good riddance! Krebs should be held accountable for his actions and be removed from UNM Athletics!

Ah! An opportunity for GPSA to redeam itself. I’ve not forgotten their “vote of confidence” to offset the “no confidence” vote to poor li’l jock-wannabe Schmidly by Faculty. And their ridiculously worded vote of support for Locksley because “people get hit a lot in football.” Their votes don’t impress me very much, not even a threatened vote of “no confidence” to Krebs. Does anybody care what GPSA says?

On another matter, remember, GPSA, the payback for diverting student fees from athletics is to lose free student seating at athletic events. Diverting small change from athletics is not going to hurt Krebs a bit. What will hurt the sumbitch is not to attend athletic functions that have traditionally been nicely populated. Like football games and men’s basketball games. The football season’s home games mercifully will end after this Saturday, so why go and indicate any support for Locksley and Krebs? The wide open Pit’s too damned cold this season anyway. A boycott of men’s games would be a bigger financial hit in the head to Krebs than withholding your tiny athletics fees.

…why was it that the first black football coach that we have gets slammed?”
Because he was the first coach, black OR white, to PUNCH AN ASSISTANT.
Leave it to a pseudo-intellectual politician like Hernandez to play the race card in a case that so obviously has NOTHING to do with ckin color.
GPSA is a joke, and so is UNM

The morale is at an all time low there needs to be a house cleaning starting with Locksley, Schmidly, Krebs, Gonzales and Garbiso. Their deceitfulness and incompetence has caused undue distress which will only be rectified by a change of leadership. How can these young impressionable student athletes have any respect for a coach and administration that will not tell the truth? Or that refuses to follow their own policies; but instead will cover up and destroy documents that are incriminating to them. By all means Krebs has to go and the rest of his vile cohorts.

Perhaps it’s time to take a look at the University’s women’s soccer coach. Her lack of leadership has brought UNM more negative press than any other event in recent memory.

GPSA needs to understand there roll and place on campus. They are an association that can have some in-put into the university however, they don’t get to decide. They don’t get to make the finals decisions. They don’t get a vote. Clearly pulling that much fund will impact the entire sports program at the school and anyone knows that the school can’t stop any athlete from making a bad decision on the field. I would be willing to bet that people in there own organization has made some bad decisions too. Let the one that never did anything wrong cast the first stone. GPSA needs to mind there own business and generate that energy for some more needed community service work and help some of the local kids get accepted into college.

It is GPSA business and anyone else’s that loves and cares about the UNM: Parents, students, faculty and taxpayers. We will no longer tolerate the UNM administrator’s corruption. Someone has to stand up for what is right and show that the UNM does have some ethics and morality. I applaud the GPSA efforts and will stand by them. I will not attend anymore UNM sports events until this is rectified. And that sir is my business!

What does Coach Locksley’s race have to do with anything? It was his actions towards another coach and the subsequent cover-up that merits investigation.

As a former GPSA fee paying member I am embarrassed by GPSA’s awkward attempt to bring about accountability in the administration. Nobody cares about the GPSA’s “vote of no confidence.” I always resented paying that stupid graduate fee in the first because it was just another scam to wring every last dollar from its grad student’s pockets. Pay coaches and administrators less, pay the faculty and staff more and get rid of that damn GPSA fee.

Locksley’s assault on his assistant coach J.B. Gerald and Elizabeth Lambert’s punching and hair pulling in a game against BYU earlier this month; has brought disastrous national media attention that has been extremely unfavorable for our university. What’s even worse is the incompetent manner in which the UNM administrators chose to handle the problem: by lying, covering up and destroying documents pertaining to the assault. Check out this video from KRQE News 13 it really revealed what a horrible and deceitful administration we have at the UNM. Also, ESPN Outside the Lines had an interview with the assistant coach that Locksley assaulted which exposed more of the same.

GPSA should be doing something because that double standard bull—— is not working. Black, white, orange or purple you hit someone or put your hands on someone and your —- should be OUT! It don’t have jack—- to do with whether or not we ever did anything wrong before (sure we all have) it has to do with being accountable for our actions. UNM is a university where people are suppose to behave like civilized human beings. We need leadership that will lead by example; not that do as I say not as I do mentality.

Again I say that GPSA needs to know there place and they dont run the school. Only a smal percent of UNM student get involved with them anyway. don’t go the sporting events. you not welcome anyway. you need to know your place and stop trying to run and manage the university.

I have season football tickets but I will not use them nor will I purchase anymore. Don’t get upset because someone is finally hitting that corrupt athletics department/administration where it hurts in their bank account. LOL I bet they will stand up and pay attention NOW! We know our place and we are exercising it. Justice will be served and you can’t stop it!

“Again I say that GPSA needs to know there place and they dont run the school. Only a smal percent of UNM student get involved with them anyway. don’t go the sporting events. you not welcome anyway.”

Mr. B – If it weren’t for student organizations being able to voice their concerns, your academic life would be a lot different. Universities are governmental institutions that seek to keep students in place and produce normative citizens. Organizations like GPSA represent the other side of that; they represent education as the practice of freedom. GPSA DOES know their place when it makes cover-ups a political matter. UNM should belong to the students, which is what GPSA represents.

You claim that only a small percentage of graduate students are involved with them anyway, but in reality, departments are designated a certain number of representatives. Their job is to REPRESENT the other graduate students in their department. This means that the effects and benefits of the organization go much further than those who show up to council meetings. If you are a graduate student, I hope you know how important GPSA is to your department, the funding that it receives, and other opportunities that you are missing out on.

From the Dominatrix Sex Scandal to Locksley’s assault on Gerald and other cases were the UNM administration has mishandled: This quote from Sharon Warner is true: “The similarities to the Locksley case are really quite striking, because in both cases somebody abused their power relationship,” she said. “Then the University pretended to do an investigation and the truth didn’t come out but they just said, ‘We’ve investigated; here are our findings; now go back to work.’” Sounds like Mr. B travels in the same circles as UNM’s administrators; attempting to control people you are better off keeping your trap shut.

“The impetus for the original Locksley resolution was that we’ve had a lot of bad coaches in the past, so why was it that the first black football coach that we have gets slammed?” Hernandez said. “The new situation is that UNM is actively covering up (the incident with) destroyed records, the vice president saying he doesn’t know UNM’s policy on violence and Schmidly saying, ‘That’s OK’ — that kind of thing.”

Don’t forget that the idiot Schmidly justified that crook Krebs salary and position by stating the Athletic Department need someone with deep knowledge of UNM Policies and Procedures (which was not evident in his handling of the assault on Gerald by Locksley) Also remember that the self-styled thug Locksley was touted as some sort of recruiting guru, yet his first two recruits never saw the field due to the criminal activity and academic deceit. Scandals and corruption are a big part of NM politics and radiate straight from the Richardson administration. UNM’s top dogs like Dave Schmidly and David Harris are purely political appointees who continue to demonstrate utter incompetence in all aspects of UNM administration. I have seen many good employees screwed with, lied to and lied on, by this and other upper level administrations. We as alumnus, parents, students, faculty and taxpayers need to force the regents to fire these vermin. Oh, I forgot the regents are appointed by Richardson.

A “no confidence” vote for Mr. Krebs only solves 1/3 of the problem; it is imperative Locksley and Schmidly also be reassigned to the steadily growing scrap heap of the exponentially increasing pile of incompetent, inept and unqualified former UNM administrators. How can the Regents allow such misfits to even be considered for employment at UNM?

Maybe the Governor should review these potential buffoons( the Regents) before the finger of incompetence starts pointing to him.

I do have to say — Though I was appalled by Lambert’s recent violence, it’s hard to hold anyone accountable when Locksley, the head football coach punches and chokes his colleague, and English Prof. Lisa Chavez whips her students in photos on the web, and stating she is teaching them to suck c—k. No exaggeration. (I bet the English Dept. isn’t surprised by Locksley and Lambert) The administration took no action against Chavez, despite many faculty calling for a proper investigation. People pretty much feel they can do anything at UNM these days…
Krebs fell right in line with the culture of lies and FAKE investigations by this administration.

As a parent and a taxpayer I have had enough of the UNM administrator’s disgraceful behavior. It is a fact that incompetence, scandals and corruption are a big part of the university’s administration. The cover up and destroying of documents pertaining to the assault on coach Gerald, by coach Locksley, sex and gender discrimination – Commander James Daniels, Dominatrix Sex Scandal – a former creative writing Chair/Professor, pregnancy discrimination – a former HR Representative and the recently settled age discrimination and sexual harassment case of Administrative Assistant Sylvia Lopez. I agree with the previous blogger that we all need to force the regents to fire these despicable administrators. The problem is David Schmidly and others like him are appointed by the regents – Richardson administration. We should petition, protest, and or boycott athletics something needs to happen. I will no longer support UNM athletics until these immoral administrators are gone.

The local television stations—and I mention them since TV seems to be a favorite method for getting the news out—need to get their act together and do some better INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING. If more tax payers knew about the level of corruption at UNM (and reporters are payed to do just that!), the administrators at UNM would be made to feel so embarrassed that they resign …you know, instead of us having to hope that our votes of no confidence will actually do something. Other universities have seen resignations from administrators dealing with scandal in just this fashion: dig for more & more information & keep broadcasting until the bastards leave.

I have attended Lobos football games since Rocky Long was the Quarterback. But I will no longer do so as long as the three stooges, Schmidly, Krebs and Locksley are in charge.” It is not because the Lobos now have a record of 0-10. They have disgraced the university that I love and I cannot support Lobo football under their corrupt regime.

The impetus for the original Locksley resolution was that we’ve had a lot of bad coaches in the past, so why was it that the first black football coach that we have gets slammed?” Hernandez said.

To begin with it should not matter what color a person’s skin is; if Locksley were white would he had been fired for assaulting the assistant coach? He should be held accountable as anyone else for his actions. This is what we are supposed to be teaching our students; keep in mind that they are observing the way in which we handle adversity. UNM administration has shown that their leadership is worthless.

UNM Board of Regents fielded a request from former UNM HR Representative Maria Garcia for an independent investigation to take place regarding UNM Administrators Schmidly, Gonzales, and Krebs surrounding their actions and decisions involving the Locksley incident in order to obtain the truth.
Tim Maestas of KRQE Channel 13 was present with a camera man so I assume the story is going to run on Fox 2 or 13.
A very interesting fact became apparent that Regents President
Raymond Sanchez was obviously uncomfortable in giving a comment on camera to Maestas.
UNM….An independent investigation just might sort all this out in light of an impending lawsuit from Gerald.

Despite pleas for an outside look the University Of New Mexico Board Of Regents has ruled out an independent investigation of the handling of the alleged attack by football Head Coach Mike Locksley on an assistant. The UNM Staff Council President supports an independent investigation as well. However, Sanchez says no to independent investigation citing “no new information given” by Garcia.

Corruption, deceit and scandals are definitely a huge part of NM politics and emit straight from the Richardson administration. UNM’s leaders like Dave Schmidly and David Harris are appointed by Richardson. They continue to exhibit; profound incompetence in all aspects of UNM administration. A boycott of men’s games and withholding athletics fees would be a huge financial hit. This will send a clear message that we will not tolerate this immoral behavior from our leaders.
