Ceci n'est pas une pipe

On March 30, someone pretended to be ASUNM senatorial candidate Kristen Sandine and posted a comment on Dailylobo.com, saying opposing candidate David Conway was instrumental behind the February 15 stabbing. So the Daily Lobo has come up with a comment policy: We will not remove comments because we disagree with them, but we reserve the right to take down a comment if it is a libelous or unnecessarily hurtful attack on an individual or group.

Fraud abounds during census season

When it comes to fraud, nothing is off limits, especially on the Internet. With the 2010 Census swinging into high gear and tax season already well underway, expect to see fraudulent “census” and “tax” e-mail and text messages in the near future.  For starters, the Internal Revenue Service never conducts business via e-mail, text messaging or the telephone. For the most part, this is also true about the U.S.

SFRB should continue to decide how student fees are spent

Editor, The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs’ recent recommendation to President David Schmidly and the UNM Board of Regents to ignore the Student Fee Review Board’s requests for the allocation of student fees in the upcoming school year undermines UNM’s stated missions and threatens the long-term viability of the University as a whole. UNM created the SFRB to ensure that students in particular, and program staff and community members generally, would have a say in how student monies are spent and that student fees would be dispensed in an open, transparent, carefully considered and democratic manner. This decision disregards the student and community voice by including a recommendation to cut all student funding for the Research Service Learning Program, Community Learning and Public Service, New Mexico Public Interest Research Group and a suspension of plans to fund the student’s request for a Queer Resource Center. The funding approvals now under consideration by President Schmidly and the Board of Regents are about far more than finances, budgetary restraints or keeping student fees low.
