The embattled dean of the University of New Mexico School of Law has been reappointed for a three-year term.

Provost Barbara Rodriguez renewed Camille Carey鈥檚 contract, effective July 1, 2027, despite calls from some alumni and community members to replace Carey over concerns about diversity and school culture.

UNM officials said in a news release that 24 out of 31 faculty members from the law school who participated in a vote said they supported Carey鈥檚 reappointment, while seven did not.

Last month, the New Mexico Hispanic Bar Association, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, alumnus, state Sen. Antonio Maestas, D-Albuquerque, and 14 student organizations called on the university not to renew her contract. Carey鈥檚 critics allege that her administration has not prioritized admitting New Mexico residents or Native American students, instead favoring applicants from out of state.

Carey said in a statement she was 鈥渉onored鈥� to continue serving at the law school.

鈥淥ur law school has a proud tradition of preparing lawyers who make a difference in communities across New Mexico, and I look forward to working with our faculty, staff, students, alumni and legal community partners as we build on that tradition,鈥� she said.

Carey鈥檚 most recent listed salary was $304,007. Rodriguez said in a statement that it is 鈥渃ustomary鈥� for UNM academic leaders to receive a pay bump when they are reappointed, though university officials declined to share Carey鈥檚 new salary.

Sarah Gorman, president of the New Mexico Hispanic Bar Association and an alumna of the school, said the organization was 鈥渄isappointed鈥� over Carey鈥檚 contract renewal.

鈥淲e hope for the best. We hope that this has been a wakeup call for the dean,鈥� she said. 鈥淚鈥檓 hoping she takes seriously the concerns that we have brought up, and we鈥檙e not going to let up.鈥�

Gorman said she and the NMHBA are hoping for a 鈥渕ore transparent admissions process鈥� in which applicants are reviewed holistically and a more communicative dean.

Carey鈥檚 defenders, on the other hand, said they were pleased with her reappointment.

鈥淲hile her opponents were relatively few in number, they worked tirelessly to manufacture a narrative that most of the law school is unhappy with her performance, which is simply untrue,鈥� said Sergio Pareja, the dean of the law school before Carey and now a member of the faculty. 鈥淭he faculty are positioned better than anybody to assess a dean's performance, and it is clear that our faculty strongly approve of the job that Dean Carey is doing.鈥�

In 2021, the year before Carey became dean, nearly 85% of the incoming class consisted of New Mexico residents, according to admissions data from UNM and the American Bar Association. By 2025, that figure was about 81%.

The percentage dipped to its lowest level in 14 years in 2023, when 61 of 92 first-year students 鈥� about 66% 鈥� were New Mexico residents. That year, about 37% of applicants were in-state residents.

UNM data show that roughly one-third or more of applicants each year are New Mexico residents, meaning most applicants are from other states. Students must live in New Mexico for 12 consecutive months before enrolling to qualify for in-state tuition.

In an email to law school faculty, Rodriguez said she made the decision to renew Carey鈥檚 contract after considering feedback from various stakeholders.

鈥淢y decision reflects the faculty input gathered through the review process, as well as the perspectives shared by students, alumni, members of the legal community, university leadership and my own assessment of the school鈥檚 future direction,鈥� Rodriguez said.
