Smelly Schmidly has no real interest in bettering UNM

Editor,

Enough is enough. As an eight-year employee of UNM, I'm sick and tired of the people at the top skimming off the money and then once in a great while flipping us a scrap or two off the end of their middle finger.

President David Schmidly is the worst of the lot. All he has done at this University is geared toward making himself richer and creating a buffer around him with a bunch of vice presidents. He has done nothing at all for the students, staff or majority of the faculty. This man has no real interest in helping anyone; he just pawns the problems off on others and then blames them for not fixing them or making things right. If you don't think things are wrong at this University then ask yourself, why does Smelly Schmidly give David Harris, who makes more than the U.S. president, a $50,000 raise? And why has he hired a criminal lawyer because of his dealings with Gov. Bill Richardson?

We need to get rid of Schmidly, do away with the vice presidents and toss the regents for hiring him in the first place. I'm tired of working in a much higher position than I'm being paid for, just like a lot of the staff and faculty have since Smelly Schmidly got his meat hooks on the UNM budget.
