ASUNM senator resigns after use of racist slurs

By Hevyn Heckes @H_Squared90

Associated Students of the University of New Mexico (ASUNM) senator Romie Sandoval has resigned after text messages emerged in which Sandoval repeatedly used the n-word, causing a public outcry.

On Jan. 20, Twitter user @ntonyjean published screenshots providing evidence that Sandoval used the n-word in private messages. @ntonyjean didn’t disclose in the post the origins of the screenshots or whether they were the original recipient of the offending messages.

The Daily Lobo spoke with ASUNM president Mia Amin on Jan. 25 regarding the complaints about Sandoval’s language. Amin said she had no knowledge of the allegations and requested to have the screenshots forwarded to her so she could research the situation.

Later that day, Amin followed up with the Lobo with a statement directed at the student body that said, “This kind of language is unacceptable regardless of the context.” Amin said that she “takes this matter very seriously” and that she planned to meet with Sandoval immediately to ask him to resign from his position with ASUNM. Amin also said that ASUNM “does not condone any kind of racism” and asserted that she would pursue disciplinary action should Sandoval refuse resignation.

Sandoval confirmed that he relinquished his undergraduate student government position following the meeting with Amin and released a formal apology on Twitter on Jan. 30 “I should have known that as someone who has been elected in a position of student leadership, my conduct is no longer only representative of myself but rather every single person at the Univer-

sity,” Sandoval’s statement read.

“Most importantly, I sincerely regret and apologize for the words I used in those conversations. I’ve learned the weight these words carry and the hurt they can cause and now understand I have no business using these words in any context.”

Sandoval went on to say he would make the “upmost effort” to educate himself in the “areas where I am ignorant and those closest to me feel I need improvement.” His Twitter account, created in September 2015, was purged of all tweets before the public apology.

ASUNM released a statement of their own on the same day announcing Sandoval’s resignation and condemning his use of racist slurs.

“Romie Sandoval no longer represents ASUNM. We were made aware of his use of racial slurs and asked him to step down from his role as a senator, and he did,” ASUNM’s perfunctory statement read. “ASUNM does not condone the use of inappropriate and racist language of any form.”

In an interview with the Daily Lobo on Jan. 27, Sandoval denied that he used the “hard r” in private messages and asserted that the leaked screenshots containing the hard r were doctored, claiming he has “the original text messages to prove that.” He didn’t deny using the n-word without the hard r and said he thought that because he had “Black family members and ... was raised in that culture that it was okay to use.”

Sandoval also refused to disclose the identity of the individual with whom he was conferring the offending messages but confirmed that the individual was a roommate with whom he had a “very personal” falling out.

After the messages were posted online, the Daily Lobo received additional screenshots of a separate message exchange between Sandoval and former ASUNM

Senator Emma Hotz where, in response to the idea for the creation of an Asian Pacific American Culture Center, Sandoval proposed “making ASUNM more inclusive” by establishing “an Anglo-Caucasian resource center.”

When asked by Hotz why he thought there was a need for an “Anglo-Caucasian” resource center, Sandoval replied, “Because we have one for every other single racial and ethnic group except for that one and the Asian/Pacific Islander group.”

Sandoval added, “If we are aiming for inclusivity, why would we leave that group out?”

Sandoval continued the exchange by questioning the meaning behind the absence of an “AngloCaucasian Resource Center.”

“So some groups are more important than others, and we should advance other groups ahead of others,” Sandoval said.

On Jan. 30, Twitter user @ntonyjean published additional screenshots alleging Sandoval made disrespectful comments about former ASUNM senators Hotz and Suha Musa. According to the screenshots, Sandoval called the senators “libtards” and asserted that Hotz is “the worst” and that Musa “only chooses to represent those who aren’t privileged.” Both Hotz and Musa are people of color.

When asked whether he thought his use of the n-word would interfere with his career plans after college, Sandoval said he “would hope not” because “(I) know what I am — I’m not a racist.” Sandoval said at this time he doesn’t have career plans for the public sector.

Black History Brunch highlights racial justice efforts Keynote speaker calls on UNM to establish Africana studies department, abolish campus police

By Megan Gleason @fabflutist2716 Black Lives Matter (BLM) and racial justice took center stage at the University of New Mexico’s Africana studies Black History Month kickoff brunch with

guest speaker Melina Abdullah, a professor and former chair of Pan-African studies at California State University, Los Angeles.

Abdullah was among the original organizers of the BLM movement in 2013 and is a cofounder of the Los Angeles chapter.

Abdullah opened her lecture with a brief discussion on Black history,

emphasizing the work of Carter G. Woodson. The historian is widely credited for starting “Negro History Week” in 1926, which would eventually lead to the creation of Black History Month in 1976.

A self-described “Panther Cub,” Abdullah, who was born in Oakland, California in the ‘70s and raised during the revolution-

ary Black Panther activist movement, said an important aspect of Black history is “looking back to move forward.”

On the topic of more localized issues, Abdullah reflected on the current struggle that UNM students and faculty are undergoing to make the Africana studies program an official department. Departmental

status, Abdullah said, is essential in order to evidence the University’s full commitment to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“We can remake the university system,” Abdullah said, reiterating that it was not only possible but achievable.

Going further, Abdullah discussed the “freedom campus” demands made by students and faculty at her campus. Some of their demands include defunding campus police and creating full-fledged resources for Black students (i.e. departments instead of programs, 100% of faculty on tenure tracks, physical and emotional resources, etc.).

Abdullah expanded on the national movement to defund the police, which she said is a “nicer way of saying ‘abolish the police.’”

The first step, according to Abdullah, is to remove police officers on

New Mexico aims to provide protections for natural hairstyles statewide

By Madeline Pukite

dailylobo.com

The No School Discrimination For Hair Act passed through the House Education Committee on Jan. 28, moving New Mexico one step closer to outlawing discrimination against natural hairstyles and cultural headwear in schools and workplaces.

Filed as HB 29 and passed unanimously through its first committee, the bill would “prohibit schools to allow discipline or discrimination or different treatment, based on a student’s race or culture, or a student’s use of protective hairstyles or cultural headdresses,” according to the legislation.

The statewide push comes after the Albuquerque City Council passed a similar ordinance earlier in January, as reported by the Daily Lobo. Both of these efforts stemmed from a national movement, created by Dove and the CROWN Coalition, which includes the National Urban League, Color of Change and the Western Center of Law and Poverty. The project stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” or CROWN. House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque, a co-sponsor of the bill and the first Black floor leader of the chamber, said that although the title indicates the bill would only offer the protections in schools, workplaces would be included as well.

“It does go beyond the school setting; it includes the workplace,” Stapleton said in committee.

Alexandria Taylor, an advocate for the bill and the director of sexual assault services for the New Mexico Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs, said the bill would add language protecting natural hairstyles and cultural headwear to the state’s educational code and the proposed Human Rights Act. The advocacy effort for the bill — especially from the New Mexico Black Central Organizing Committee, formed by a group of Black women to lobby for its passage — involved a large group of people giving their personal testimonies.

“We have been collecting hair stories, and not just stories of pain, but stories of joy around what we consider our crown,” Taylor, a member of the Central Organizing Committee, said.

Taylor told the story of her son, who had asked to get dreadlocks, and how she made him write a three-page research paper on hair discrimination. “(He needed to) learn about all the young Black people being forced to cut their locs by people in positions of authority,” Taylor said. “He should not have had to do that.”

The other expert Stapleton brought in was Malia Luarkie, a co-founder of the advocacy group Indigenous Women Rising. She spoke about growing up on the Laguna Pueblo as a Black Pueblo woman and how she felt the need to straighten her hair every day since she was 10 years old.

Recent UNM graduate Bryce Brooks stands in front of Hodgin Hall.

“I was constantly teased and disrespected because I looked different,” Luarkie said. “The teasing was not limited to fellow classmates, but their parents and school faculty as well.”

In the education committee, an amendment added to the bill changed the word burka to hijab.

Stapleton said she was asked to change the wording because a burka isn’t common amongst children in schools, as it’s a fullbody covering instead of just a head covering.

“That is not what we have in schools,” Stapleton said. “Children would not wear that, so they have asked us to change it.”

The committee discussion led members of the public to ask that the bill include more religious head coverings, such as turbans, and spurred further discussion regarding the absence of the word “reli-

gious” in the proposed legislation.

“So we don’t list a bunch of things and then leave something out, I personally would feel more comfortable if we say cultural or religious,” Rep. Joy Garratt, DAlbuquerque, said.

Stapleton said she had thought of this absence but didn’t have enough time to propose it as an amendment, promising to address it in the next committee hearing.

Other committee members questioned the enforcement of the bill and whether it would interfere with any safety protocols.

Aja Brooks, the president of the New Mexico Black Lawyers Association, said that if a school or employer were concerned about the safety of a hairstyle they should work with the individual to find a way to make the hairstyle safe without infringing on their cultural identity.

“I do think there are other ways to deal with safety issues besides having someone cut their hair off or having someone chemically alter their hair,” Brooks said.

The bill passed on a unanimous 14-0 vote, with Rep. Jack Chatfield not present. The bill will next be heard in the House Judiciary Committee. If passed by the full Legislature, New Mexico would be the 7th state in the country to afford these protections for natural hairstyles and cultural headwear.

college campuses.

“Black students are not free or safe because there are police on campus,” Abdullah said.

The discussion moved to voting rights during the Q&A portion of the event, where Abdullah said that voting is a part of honoring the history of the Black community and the advancements in civil rights made over time. Despite those achievements, Abdullah said the political system in the United States has historically been built upon a foundation of white supremacy.

“Black folks did not vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Black folks voted against Donald Trump,” Abdullah said.

Even more important than voting is organizing, including the revolutionary movements

formed in reaction to the murders of Trayvon Martin in 2013 and George Floyd in 2020.

“One of the challenges is (that) we’ve been fed the idea that freedom comes from voting,” Abdullah said.

This movement needs to be led

by Black folks, Abdullah said, but it’s also important for others to not only be allies but accomplices in the movement for peace and justice. Abdullah emphasized that there is no such thing as reverse racism.

“When the world cracked wide open with the murder, with the theft of George Floyd’s life, we were ready for the moment,” Abdullah said.

Recent political events entered the discussion, including white supremacy in the U.S. and

the insurrection attempt at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Abdullah said white supremacists have an incentive for violence, and she condemned any comparison to BLM supporters.

“Don’t try to get in the heads of white supremacists ... They are terrorists,” Abdullah said.

Overall, Abdullah said sustainable action — often invisible work that isn’t noticeable until the change has culminated — needs to be taken by everyone every day.

A powerful video about the Black Lives Matter movement was also featured at the event, covering the discrimination and inequality that remains in the U.S. along with the nationwide protests that occurred in the summer of 2020.

“This is a movement, not a moment. Together, we can change the world. Black lives matter,” the end caption read.

Other speakers included video statements from UNM President Garnett Stokes, African American Student Services (AASS) director Brandi Stone and Africana studies director Charles Bucknell. Master of ceremonies Miles Blakemore introduced each speaker and announced questions at the Q&A portion that ended the event.

“Until the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be the hero,” Abdullah said, quoting an African proverb and praising Becknell for bravely fighting for BLM at UNM. The Ella Jo Baker Leadership Awards were also presented at the start of the event, with for-

mer UNM students Moneka Stevens and Beverly McMillan both receiving the community award and Beth Glenn receiving the student award.

Abdullah’s tone throughout the Black History Month kickoff brunch was one of inspiration and motivation, reminding attendees that change won’t come easy but is ultimately achievable.

“Freedom is never given by the oppressor — it must be demanded by the oppressed,” Abdullah said, quoting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Megan Gleason is the culture editor at the Daily Lobo.

POW POW Take adva Legislators to introduce use of force accountability bill

By Gabriel Biadora @gabrielbiadora

As the 55th New Mexico Legislature session picks up steam, state lawmakers are expected to introduce a number of police reform bills. One of note is the return of a bill that would provide reporting mechanisms to investigate police officers after their use of excessive force on an individual that led to great bodily harm or death.

In last year’s first special session, against the backdrop of the summer’s apex of nationwide protests against police killings and structural racism, a set of police reform bills were introduced. In the end, the only bill to become law was one requiring police officers to wear body cameras.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico (ACLUNM) tried pushing lawmakers to introduce a bill that would have granted plaintiffs the ability to sue public employees (such as police officers), essentially doing away with qualified immunity — a legal doctrine that shields government officials from civil laws that would hold officers accountable for constitutional violations such as use of excessive force. The proposal led to the creation of the New Mexico Civil Rights Commission, though the original bill died.

Law Enforcement Use of Force Reporting Bill (SB 17), which also failed to reach Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s desk last year after dying

in committee, proposed a procedure to be enacted following a use of force by a peace officer.

Per SB 17, within 24 hours of an individual suffering great bodily harm or being killed by an officer’s use of force, notice would have been given to the local district attorney. The district attorney would then hand a report to the governor and attorney general to evaluate the matter for prosecution, concurrently establishing a public database for these reports.

As the Senate reconvenes on Feb. 1, a similar but revised bill is expected to be introduced sometime during the week by Sens.

Antoinette Sedillo Lopez and Jerry Ortiz y Pino and Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballero, according to Sedillo Lopez.

Taking much of the same cues from SB 17 — reporting mechanisms, a structured timeline and a third party monitor — the anticipated bill’s essence is accountability and transparency, according to Caballero.

Caballero said she feels “very confident” about the bill, citing its vetting process by the attorney general and input taken from New Mexico State Police.

Sedillo Lopez is likewise optimistic, referring to the bill’s movement in a majority Democratic legislature.

After the ousting of some key conservative Democrats from the legislature in the 2020 elections, there blooms a collective confidence among left-leaning

policymakers that their progressive bills can finally advance after being blocked in previous years.

“I feel very comfortable about it in the Senate because of change in the composition of the Senate — where issues of Black Lives Matter, fairness in holding police accountable, transparency, timeliness and freedom from conflicts of interest are very important,” Sedillo Lopez said in a phone call with the Daily Lobo.

Sedillo Lopez said the genesis of the bill was motivated by Elisha Lucero, who, while experiencing a mental crisis, was shot 21 times and killed by Bernalillo County Sheriff Department (BCSO) deputies in July 2019.

The responding deputies weren’t equipped with body cameras per the resistance of BCSO at the time, and a $4 million settlement awarded to Lucero’s family was reached with Bernalillo County in March 2020.

Elaine Maestas, Lucero’s older sister and next of kin, said she still doesn’t know if the deputies faced proper repercussions and is looking to the bill as a way for other families to receive immediacy and more transparency in the future.

The bill “will set standards, and other families — god willing there (are) no other families — who have to go through this won’t have to suffer like our family and the families that are waiting now to hear something,” Maestas said.

Whether or not the bill will indeed pass in both chambers

and make it to the governor’s desk remains uncertain until the Legislature kicks into full gear.

Furthermore, in the event the bill is signed into law, it will take years to collect relevant data to assess the effectiveness of the policy in holding law enforcement accountable.

For Sedillo Lopez, the pending bills are “important first steps, and it’s going to take a lot of effort to continue the path ensuring we have community policing and that we eliminate racism, misogyny and violence from police departments.”

Barron Jones, a senior policy strategist for ACLU-NM who is advocating for the organization’s own police reform bills this session, said

he is hoping the bills as a whole will elicit a cultural change.

“Some of these laws — I hope — will bring about a cultural change through osmosis,” Jones said. “The bills (are) there, the policies get in place and folks will start falling in line.”

Various police reform bills passed last year in a number of states, including Colorado and New York, but the long-term consequences of those laws on the state of policing are still opaque.

ASUNM senate elects new president pro tempore

Transparency initiatives, bridge mending and vaccine distribution legislation pass

By Hevyn Heckes @H_Squared90 The Associated Students of the University of New Mexico assembled over Zoom Jan. 27 to elect a new president pro tempore, ensure more transparency in proposed legislation and call for a more collegial relationship with the Daily Lobo.

Raina Harper, a junior studying film and digital arts, was nominated for ASUNM president pro tempore

by Finance Committee Chair Sarah Polsin. Polsin said she nominated Harper because “she’s such a wellrounded person” and “she knows what she’s doing.”

Harper, the only nominee, was selected by a majority vote the position. Votes were conferred confidentially to Ryan Lindquist, the director of the Student Activities Center.

After the election, the senate focused their attention on a cleanup bill authored by Polsin to amend the finance code and make the language consistent with the ASUNM Lawbook.

“ASUNM has historically used the term ‘budget revision’ amongst the senators during meetings, while the Lawbook language used ‘line item transfer,’” Polsin said. This and a number of other semantic changes passed unanimously with 19 votes in favor.

Bill 3S, authored by Sen. Antonio Romero-Salas and others, aimed to “improve transparency between (ASUNM) and the student body,” according to Romero-Salas.

Ian May, the Finance Committee vice chair and a junior in international studies and computer science, said the bill was part of an effort to “reflect our adherence to the (New Mexico) Open Meetings Act” and a direct response to some senators’ attempt to re-introduce Bill 18F at the final full senate meeting of the fall 2020 semester after it was killed by the Steering and Rules Committee.

Bill 3S formally brought ASUNM senate rules into harmony with

the Open Meetings Act, denoting that finalized agenda items must be posted online a minimum of 72 hours before a senate or committee meeting. Bill 3S passed unanimously with 19 votes in favor.

As the evening continued, senators took time to honor the retirement of Student Government Accounting Office (SGAO) supervisor and accountant Joanna Garcia.

Garcia had been SGAO’s supervisor for five years.

Resolution 1S addressed the

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO sometimes-tumultuous relationship between ASUNM and the Daily Lobo. The resolution acknowledged that there have been “several attempts to decrease the 8.5% (of student fees) allotted to the Daily Lobo from ASUNM and removed entirely in some instances,” and that “the nature of the professional relationship between ASUNM and the Daily Lobo is a reflection of the merits of both of the organizations, their individual members and the University of New Mexico.”

Harper said she wanted ASUNM to “work to strengthen this relationship (with the Daily Lobo) in all the ways that we can” and that the resolution is a “good first step” toward a friendly, professional relationship between the two student organizations.

Last fall, more than 100 community members and journalists logged on to Zoom to speak on behalf of the Daily Lobo during public comment in the Steering and Rules Committee meeting where the proposed funding cut was deliberated.

back regarding Bill 18F lasted for more than three hours.

Resolution 1S passed with 16 votes in favor with Sens. Jacob Griego, Polsin and Helen Zhao abstaining.

As UNM students continue to struggle with the stressors from receiving an education during a pandemic, ASUNM’s student leaders ended their first meeting of the spring semester on a motivational note.

Resolution 2S — the final action item of the evening — underscored ASUNM’s support of the COVID-19 vaccine and encouraged the student body to participate in vaccination efforts. Harper acknowledged the scientific reasoning behind herd immunity and the economic impact of COVID-19 as rationale, and the resolution passed unanimously.

By Madeline Pukite @madelinepukite After years of grassroots organizing for paid sick leave, a state bill that would recognize those efforts and provide relief for working New Mexicans has yet to be heard in the House Labor, Veterans’ and Military Affairs Committee.

House Bill 37 is a paid sick leave bill, co-sponsored by Democratic state representatives Angelica

Rubio, G. Andrés Romero, Patrica Roybal Caballero and Linda Serrato. The bill would — upon passage — immediately require New Mexico businesses to provide their employees with paid time off due to illness.

“This is a very familiar piece of policy for me and for people across the state who have been working to find some equity in a lot of the worker’s justice legislation that we have been trying to push for over the last few years,”

Rubio said.

For more than half of New Mexico workers, the passage of the sick leave law would provide a welcome respite after years of having to choose between going to work sick or missing out on a paycheck.

“In New Mexico, at least half of (the) workers don’t have access to paid sick leave,” Stephanie Welch, an attorney from the New Mexico Law and Poverty Center, said.

Black, Indigenous and people of color are those most affected by the lack of protections in worker’s rights, according to Welch.

HB 37 would require all employers to provide a “minimum of one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked” while allowing employees to loan time out to coworkers and carry unused hours over into the new year.

The bill would also require businesses to provide specific benefits in light of public health emergencies. “(The) employer shall provide supplemental paid sick leave for absences due to the circumstances,” the legislation reads.

Many individuals showed up to provide public comment, with some tuning in from work to share personal stories about why the legislation is important

to them.

“I handle raw meat every day, (and) I talk to the customer directly. If I am sick at work, I will be putting my customers and coworkers in jeopardy,” Carl Trujillo, a meat cutter at Smiths, said.

Trujillo is also a part of a “skeleton crew” at Smiths and said because of the pressure put on him to show up, he has to ask himself, “Am I sick enough or well enough to go work?” He said he shouldn’t be forced to ask that question during a pandemic, where the CDC has told workers to stay home at any sign of illness.

Alongside personal testimonies, libertarian and business associations lobbied against the legislation because they feared for already struggling small businesses.

John Garcia, the executive vice president of the Home Builders Association of Central New Mexico, spoke out against the bill, fearing negative effects it might have on the local economy.

“I think that is something that probably won’t work. The business economy is on life support too,” Garcia said.

Garcia also speculated that

businesses might leave to another state with less humane worker protections, hurting the New Mexican economy further.

“A policy like this will push away business, because you can go to a state that doesn’t have these kinds of mandates,” Garcia said.

Lexi Gravelle, a University of New Mexico student and a coach for the school’s club gymnastics team, said sick leave is an important issue to many students at UNM who have to work jobs outside of school to help cover tuition and other fees.

“I am fortunate to be living at home for college, but paid sick leave would be very beneficial for working toward school fees,” Gravelle said. “In general, I think required sick leave is important.

I know people who have struggled a lot during the two weeks they got sick.”

As of Jan. 31, HB 37 isn’t yet scheduled to be heard again in committee.

Mexican gray wolves released from BioPark into the wild Lobos return home from captivity in international first

By Shelby Kleinhans @BirdsNotReal99 For one wolf, it meant returning to the country where she was born in captivity; for the whole pack, it meant a chance to start a new life roaming free in the wild. The pack in question?

Kawi, Ryder and their seven pups — a Mexican gray wolf pack that formerly called the ABQ BioPark their home.

The BioPark recently reported that on Jan. 15, the nine endangered wolves were loaded into crates and started the trek down to their destination, a “wilding school” south of Mexico City. BioPark staff members transported the pack to the U.S./Mexico border, and a final green light from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) meant the pack could continue their journey with a team of conservationists from the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro.

The pack’s release into the wild will hopefully continue the success that Ryder and Kawi had in producing offspring at the BioPark: a litter of three pups in 2019 and a litter of seven in 2020 that also traveled with their parents to Mexico. Archer, one of the males born in 2019, remains at the BioPark and will eventually join a new pack.

“It’s a zoo’s dream to directly help a wild population like this. It’s even more powerful and touching for us that it’s our beloved lobo

that we’re helping,” Eric Flynn, the BioPark’s mammal curator, said in a press release. Flynn also said that at the wilding school, the wolves will be taught how to hunt and survive by caregivers using a hands-off approach until they are approved for release into the wilderness of northern Mexico.

The BioPark has been a major player in the conservation of Mexican gray wolves since 1983 when it partnered with the FWS to help restore the species that was nearly driven to extinction in the wild in the 1970s. The environmental museum reported that several wolves born at their Albuquerque facilities have been released into the wild in the U.S., but this international pack release marks a major stepping stone for the organization.

Unfortunately, the road to restoring the Mexican gray wolf population to its historic and rightful habitat has not always been smooth. According to the nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife, Mexican gray wolves have consistently remained the most endangered wolf species in the world because of their compromised genetics due to a dwindling gene pool and intolerance of humans.

The wolves used to be plentiful in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, in addition to northern parts of Mexico.

However, run-ins with livestock and humans ultimately ensured the decline of the species.

“Toward the turn of the century,

high cattle stocking rates and low populations of native prey, such as deer and elk, caused many wolves to prey on livestock ... Wolves were trapped, shot and poisoned by both private individuals and government agents,” the Wolf Conservation Center, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to the preservation of wolves, reported.

By 1976, the Mexican gray wolf was considered to be all but extinct in the wild, with only a few wolves remaining in captivity. It was only through concerted efforts by the U.S. and Mexican governments to create a survival plan for the incredibly endangered species that the first wolf pack was reintroduced to Arizona in 1998.

“The Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan is a bi-national initiative … whose primary purpose is to support the reestablishment of the Mexican wolf in the wild in both the United States and Mexico through captive breeding, public education and research,” the Wolf Conservation Center said.

So far, the number of Mexican gray wolves in the wild is continuing to trend upward, indicating both the successful nature and necessity of the survival plan. A report by the FWS stated that at the beginning of 2019, the Mexican wolf Interagency Field Team — a group of on-the-ground conservation workers from multiple state and federal governments — had documented a population of 131 wolves between Arizona and New Mexico.

Susan Montoya Bryan reported for the Associated Press that by 2020, a population of 163 wolves was surveyed between the two states — an

impressive 25% increase from 2019.

In addition, approximately 30 wolves were found in the wilderness of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in northwestern Mexico.

However, one of the biggest hurdles conservationists are facing is finding a way to handle the inevitable interactions between wolves and livestock, which has historically often led to ranchers shooting and killing wolves in a bid to protect their cattle. Attempting to solve this conundrum led to the foundation of the Mexican Wolf/Livestock Coexistence Council in 2011, a group consisting of ranchers, environmentalists and Indigenous people.

In a guest column for the Albuquerque Journal, Bryan Bird, the Southwest program director for Defenders of Wildlife, stated that the council is “dedicated to supporting a viable model for

successfully coexistent ranching, self-sustaining wolf populations and healthy western landscapes in the American Southwest.”

International cooperation among ranchers, conservationists and organizations like the ABQ BioPark will be imperative to getting the Mexican gray wolf off the endangered species list. But right now, small victories such as the eventual release of Kawi, Ryder and their seven pups into the wild should be celebrated.

In the words of Mayor Tim Keller: “Albuquerque can be proud that its hometown zoo is focused on conservation and helping lobos make it again in the wild.”

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

‘Lobo Social Packs’ provide outlet for student socialization

Alex McCausland / Daily Lobo / @alexkmccausland

A man sits alone in the lower level of the Student Union Building on Jan. 27, 2021.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2021 / PAGE 7

By Megan Gleason @fabflutist2716 Lobo Social Packs are a new way for students to connect with one another at the University of New Mexico, bringing five students together to attend both in-person and virtual events.

The Student Activities Center (SAC) will organize and host these groups, which will include four students and one “involved” student leader.

“We’re really looking at trying to find ways to connect students during the pandemic, because things have obviously been really tough with very few in-person classes,” Ryan Lindquist, the director of the SAC, said.

The 25 students who have signed up so far met virtually for the first time on Thursday, Jan. 28. Applications will continue to be accepted throughout the semester.

“Gatherings will be a mix of inperson and virtual activities and include things like eating at La Posada together, attending campus events (Drag Bingo, crafting events, movie watch parties...), game nights, walking field trips (to Rude Boy Cookies, Freddy’s...) and more,” the SAC website reads.

The student group combinations will be decided based on a multitude of factors, including grade, school focus and whether or not the individual lives on campus.

Lindquist said group assignments will come together shortly.

He said the SAC wants to find a way to “allow people to socialize with people that they may not have had that opportunity to meet with.”

“We’re hoping that this is going to create a little social network for students and improve their experience,” Lindquist said, add-

ing that students who come to UNM from out of town and live in the residence halls haven’t had much of a chance to expand their social bubbles.

Lindquist said the idea for the social groups was first brought up in mid-December by Pamela Cheek, the associate provost of student success, and published online in January without any advertising. However, 13 people found it on their own and signed up. SAC recently started pushing advertising for the events on social media and plans to have a larger wave of promotion this week.

“We feel like involvement and engagement is really a key component to life at the University of New Mexico, and we understand that the pandemic has really impacted our ability to provide those opportunities,” Lindquist said. “We’re hoping that this will be a step in getting us back to seeing some of those opportunities on campus.”

The SAC also hopes that more student organizations, like Greek life and government groups, get involved in the Lobo Social Packs, as many individuals from those groups have already signed up to be student leaders.

Both undergraduate and graduate students can fill out an online form to join a pack, and students involved in UNM campus life and the general community can apply to lead a pack by emailing sac@unm.edu.

Masks are required for all inperson events, and all members must comply with New Mexico’s COVID-19 rules and precautions.
