UNM Graduate and Professional Students Association, feckless.

Early this year, the leadership of the GPSA conducted an election. One item on the ballot asked voters if they wanted an independent review of the administrative handling of the Locksley Gate scandal.

The issue passed overwhelmingly. And that was the end of it.

To date, UNM President
David Schmidly is yet to
even acknowledge that the
election took place, much less
his intentions with respect to
an independent review of his
administrative standards and
accountability.

I am unaware of any effort at all,
that the GPSA has made to
compel him to comply, or even to
bring attention to his refusal.

The GPSA had a milestone opportunity to compel the first ever independent review of an administration of the public trust and treasure, and they blew it.

So what was the point in having the issue placed on a ballot?

And what is the point in having a GPSA if they are so impotent even on a milestone issue with such widespread support*?

*Nearly everyone except the administrators whose individual incompetence and corruption would be exposed by an independent and honest inquiry.
