UNM President David Schmidly is in hot water over his inability and/or unwillingness to share governance, link.
APS Supt Winston Brooks would be in hot water over the same issue, if only the truth were as widely known.
Shared governance; the right of stakeholders to participate meaningfully in decision making that affects their interests.
There is no point in arguing over whether stakeholders actually have such rights. We teach students that they do. You buy it or you don't.
If you buy it, you enable stakeholder participation.
If you don't buy it, you obstruct stakeholder participation.
The most fundamental level of participation in decision making is, sharing the truth. If you buy stakeholder rights, you share the truth. If you don't buy stakeholder rights, you manipulate the truth to your own ends.
The truth belongs to everyone equally. Withholding the truth prevents shared decision making about that truth.
Schmidly, Brooks, et al, believe, they own the truth;
it is theirs to distribute as they see fit.
Then APS Supt Peter Horoschak once told me;
"You can't just tell the truth.They survive by hiding the inconvenient truths that would be exposed by independent reviews of their internal standards and accountability.
You never know how someone might try to use it."
If you ask either one of them, if they will commence an independent standards and accountability review of their administrations; they will stonewall the question.
They have no intention of sharing governance. And the proof
of that is; they have no intention of sharing the truth.

I thin k that it's an insult to the UNM graduates this year that he will skip graduation.
He himself reported that the inspection and removal of a small abdominal tumor was a minor procedure.... so with all his pull and money, it couldn't have been shifted 1 week up or back from graduation?It's a cheap excuse...even by his own indirect admission....
I won't begrudge the man a doctor's appointment. Seriously, who cares if he shows up or not, anyway?
