Editor, UNM Regents and Administration are having a difficult time finding $6 million to give UNM staff a 2 percent raise and faculty a 3 percent raise without raising student tuition rates again. According to New Mexico Watchdog, over the past 15 years UNM tuition rates for New Mexico residents have increased by a whopping 170 percent.

‘Students’ Dean’ offers advocacy and inclusion

Dear students, This has been an especially emotional week for many of you, especially those who were in support of or against ASUNM Resolution 10S. As the Dean of Students — or, as I prefer to identify, the “Students’ Dean” — I always aim to provide advocacy, help you through critical moments and support the overall academic mission of this institution.

Ease climate change by starving fuel companies

Editor, Often people feel disillusioned by climate change because they believe the issue is too big, and the culprits too abstract, for their individual actions to matter. However, this should no longer be the case. The fossil fuel industry is the obvious climate antagonist, and the means of combating this industry is increasingly clear and concrete.

#RelationshipStatus: Three’s a crowd

If you are a Tinder user (or have a very rude boyfriend,) you have probably received this exact message at least once: “Wanna fuck.” “Isn’t it the best pick-up line you have ever heard?” Collette said one night after she received yet another one of these messages.

Letter: Effective protest requires disrupting someone’s day

Editor, While everyone seems to be obsessed with the inadvisable tactics of a few lone wolf protesters, I would like to draw attention to an overlooked aspect of the events on Sunday. According to multiple sources, the Twitter accounts of #OpAlbuquerque and #APDProtest were censored.

"Peaceful" protests tend to lack efficacy

Sunday’s protest in Albuquerque brought attention to the long-standing problem of police violence and stirred public debate on protest methods. Critics claim that this unruly behavior detracted from the protesters’ cause by disrupting the lives of fellow citizens and requiring costly public services to contain the outrage. Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said, “they’ve taken it far beyond a normal protest.” But what is a “normal” protest?
