Re: Need to hire a president who will be affirmative in supporting and hiring women and minority faculty and administrators

While not endorsing a candidate for the position of President of the University of New Mexico, as minority/women members of the UNM faculty, we believe that it is crucial to appoint a president who has seriously articulated a plan to increase the representation of women and minorities in the faculty and at all levels of the administration, especially at the executive. We believe that active support of diversity, equity, and excellence should be inseparable guiding principles of the president's vision for the university.

Mamisma????

"Last week, USA Today published an article by Harriet Rubin who made the case that gender doesn't have to work against female candidates. She wrote that "'mamisma', or femininity defined by mature and maternal qualities," may in fact be just what voters want right now. " What do you think??
