Editor,
It's spring time again at UNM. The warm weather is here, and the flowers are blooming, apart from other developments at the University.
Once again, white students and faculty are forced to sit back and watch something our tax and tuition dollars are paying for, yet we are not invited to participate in it.
This, of course, would be the upcoming Faculty of Color Awards given to recognize the outstanding work of faculty of color at UNM.
Why, you may ask, are white faculty not eligible for this award? Is it because no white faculty has done outstanding work at UNM? No, that's not it.
Is it because the whites have not banded together to form a white professional association? No, that's not it.

I guess it is because we don't meet the criteria of being "of color."
Does that sound racist? It should, because it is.
