Would this be considered a fair election quesion? See below. If it is, then the people have spoken and there is nothing we can say to oppose the election and what the people say.

GPSA Special Election 2010

There’s something funny about the compatibility of these propositions:
1.) Use of funds clearly defined
2.) Transparency (in spending, I assume)
3.) Diversion of funds

The clause “that are consistent with the mission of the university” doesn’t seem to leave a cheerful possibility to reconsider funding athletics should the program satisfy the first two of my propositions. In other words, why include the first two propositions at all if you’re just going to cut their funding and claim that the funding is not aligned with the “mission of the university”?

Looks unfair. actually it looks like they were intending to mislead. Oh well looks like they win. Too Late.

The real win here is the vote to begin an impartial investigation. There is no legitimate agenda that does not move forward when stakeholders are privy to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the spending of their power and resources.

The idea that a public servant can respond to legitimate questions about the spending of power and resources, or about their public service, by saying “I am not going to answer any more questions” is utterly unacceptable.

C’mon, Rick – I call it unfair when I am socked with additional student fees in the Med school and on top of that I am asked to read numerous professional articles on a $10 printing budget.

Just for starters, I’d like to see UNM make more than lip wind about providing us the education we are paying for. Not overpaying coach after coach.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. In reality, the issue should be expanded to encompass President Schmidly, Coach Locksley and Mr. Krebs, all of whom have failed to maintain standards most would expect at UNM.

Coach Alford is doing a great job and is giving UNM positive exposure and marketing with the UNM Lobo Basketball team. He is opening the eyes to potential students and faculty to come to UNM. That is free publicity UNM is receiving. So let’s go ahead and take money from him and his team. That is what the GPSA is saying. Not only that, they are doing it in a deceptive way. If they are willing to make a simple question so deceitful, then what else are they doing that is deceitful? It is the same question they are asking about the Locksley incident. Why couldn’t they ask the simple question if funding should be taken away from athletics and allocated to other UNM activities? They didn’t do that, they hid it under three other questions that could have different answers. Read the question above and tell me if you think that is fair? That is what I am so upset about, it was an unfair election and it gives insight to their leadership.

You know the old line about the lunatics running the asylum. How is this—students voting against the administration—not the same thing?

The more appropriate question his is it even remotely the same thing.

No one is asking to take over the reins. They are demanding a seat at the table where decisions are being made that involve their interests.

The very leaders, (President Schmidly AD-Paul Krebs, the VP of HR Helen Gonzales and HR investigator Shannon Garbiso) who are suppose to address violence, abuse and conflicts; instead they are lying, covering up and destroying evidence; it is extremely difficult to trust a corrupt administration like UNM. 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.’” This is our university; yes, I said our university the actions of this corrupt administration has brought public humiliation on our beloved institution. I have not attended a UNM sporting event since this embarrassing incident; nor will I purchase another ticket until this matter has been adequately resolved. All of these so called leaders should be F-I_R_E_D!!!!!

Just a vote of no confidence? I say Krebs is getting off easy, he should be told to GET OUT and take Locks with him.

Or maybe they should all be punished by Prof. Lisa D. Chavez, of the Dominatrix Sex Scandal. I think people would like to see some administrators in the positions Chavez put her unfortunate students. Maybe we need to see some photos of Chavez whipping the top dogs, training them to c–ksuck in public (as Chavez advertised she did with students in her ads).

Like any poll or statistic used by any large bureaucracy, it is slanted to achieve a desired result. Why a simple “Yes or No” question is not sufficient continues to elude me. Take the question, “In the last 6 months have you ever had a bad day at work?” The question itself is so ambiguous it’s almost funny. What constitutes a “bad day”? But this is what pollsters do; they ask ambiguous questions so they can manipulate the results to the preferred outcome. A statistics professor once used this as a demonstration;
Watermelons linked to drowning. It has been shown the when there is an increase in watermelons purchases, there is also an increase in the number of drownings. See data can be manipulated to say whatever is needed to say. Although I agree with GPSA I think there poll is very slanted, and therefore ineffective as a measuring of opinions.

Concerning the “The more appropriate question his” comment.

I did NOT write this comment attributed to me; to the person that did, learn to blog correctly whoever you are. After that you can walk and talk, and if you are lucky maybe then people will listen.
