Editor,
The law school wants to secede from the union. It reminds me of the teabaggers holding signs with misspelled racial slurs while they yell, “Tell the government to keep their hands off my Medicaid.” Teabaggers do not know that the government program they benefit from is Medicare, and the leaders of the law school secession movement don’t understand they are supporting policies that destroyed the math department.
There is speculation that the regents are behind the law school’s actions. I guess UNM regents are engaged in the Northern Strategy. Lomas Boulevard is their Mason Dickson Line (teabagger spelling).
I wonder if the law school will march at the regents meeting with a sign that says, “Lissa is a b***h,” as they yell, “Viva Koch!”
Law school students say they want to walk away from GPSA because they want to control the $5 they pay to GPSA. What the secession leaders did not tell their constituents is they will no longer be able to apply for thousands of dollars in GPSA grants, if the regents grant the regents’ grand plan.
When the law school leaders leave UNM, I am sure they will hang tea bags from their ears and join the other people who think quitting is the only option. If this movement (as in bowel) is successful, I anticipate some undergrad departments will try to leave ASUNM. This has the potential to backfire on the regents.
One secession will result in others at ASUNM. Then the regents will need to keep an eye on multiple student governments with as many agendas. Viva secessions!
