Average salary not an accurate measure without more data

Editor, I have been interested in the recent articles addressing the salaries of UNM staff, faculty and administrators. The compensation structure seems to be blatantly offensive to the staff and faculty. It should be a source of keen embarrassment and shame for the higher-salaried administrators.

Question of the Week

How do you feel about the Health Department cracking down on Food Not Bombs serving meals without a permit? Cameron Eklund Senior Nutrition "I don't understand why they would care so much if it was free. If no one's making money, then I don't really see the point in cracking down on it.

A plan to save the University

I commend the thoughtful UNM student letter writers on their charming ideas for exciting and innovative ways that this institution can offer fewer services. In budget-cutting discussions, much like politics, no one is ever truly right or wrong. The brightest plans often emerge from intense debate.

It would be too pricey to hire new University president

Editor, President David Schmidly may not be the best president for UNM. Though after President William C. Gordon left, UNM hasn't exactly been a magnet for successful leaders. There have been more than enough lackluster presidents to pass through the revolving doors of Scholes Hall.

NM should evaluate itself to determine sources of crime

Editor, We all value the diversity of New Mexico, particularly at UNM. Multiculturalism is a valued perspective and appears to be sought after across the board. If we evaluate issues affecting our state in terms of productive versus nonproductive activities, perhaps we can identify and determine which aspects of diversity and multiculturalism are an end or a means to an end.

Opinion

Schmidly will continue to find ways to increase salary

Editor, I don't want to hurt any administrative feelings, because I know the new definition of campus integrity requires that I "demonstrate self-control in difficult situations" and that freedom is now defined as "open-mindedness toward people who hold differing opinions" than I do.
