A 24-year-old man that UNM has banned for coming to campus with a gun and car with a trunk full of ammo a few weeks ago may have returned, according to one student on social media.

Football: Lobos can get share of division title with win against Wyoming

Robert Maler | November 26

A loss by Boise State (10-2, 6-2 MW) in its final regular season game just made the season finale between the Lobos and Wyoming on Saturday a lot more interesting. A win by Wyoming (8-3, 6-1 MW) would give the Cowboys the division crown outright, while New Mexico (7-4, 5-2) could force a three-way tie to earn co-champ honors. A share of the division title would be the first for the Lobos since 1997, although Boise State would likely get the nod to play in the Mountain West Championship by virtue of its higher ranking.

What led to Trump's rise? UNM professors offer their thoughts

Nichole Harwood | November 22

Two UNM professors — from the departments of Sociology and Political Science — commented on Donald Trump’s historical rise to presidency and the factors which may have been involved in his victory. Peter Kierst, who teaches constitutional law and theory, said the Constitution is silent about political parties, but this election does raise two constitutional issues: the influence of “factions” and the use of the Electoral College. A faction is a group of people, part of either a minority or majority, who are animated by a passion which is contrary to the right of individuals or contrary to the public interest, Kierst said.

Native American Studies faculty find different rewards from work

Cathy Cook | November 22

With only six faculty members, UNM’s Native American Studies Department has a relatively small group of faculty, but their research subjects are many. Minthorn works for both the Native American Studies and Education departments and, ever since she came to UNM in 2012, focuses on leadership. She said her favorite class to teach is one she created, centered on principles of leadership in an indigenous context. “I think a lot of times when we’re taught about leadership it’s from a Western perspective, and so this class takes that away,” Minthorn said.
