I read with great interest the recent column by former University of New Mexico Law School faculty and deans in response to concerns expressed by students, alumni and some faculty about the appointment or reappointment of the dean of the law school. I am aware that some of the faculty are strongly opposed to reappointment of the dean, but are hesitant to express their concerns out of fear of retaliation. The fear is born of four years of experience with Dean Camille Carey.

I am disappointed to see the endorsement of Carey鈥檚 reappointment by former law school deans Ted Parnall and Leo Romero, and emeritus professors Richard Gonzales and Rob Schwartz. All of these well-regarded individuals were professors when I graduated from the law school 43 years ago.

Three were my professors, and I am grateful for their instruction and guidance. Nevertheless, I take issue with several of their contentions.

First, the expressions of concern about the reappointment of Carey are not 鈥渁ttacks鈥� by a 鈥渇ew angry dissidents.鈥� To the contrary, the concerns have been raised by state lawmakers, including state Sen. Antonio 鈥淢oe鈥� Maestas, New Mexico House Speaker Javier Mart铆nez (both alumni), and members of the House Judiciary Committee, among others.

The interested parties include not only the New Mexico Hispanic Bar Association, the ACLU of New Mexico, the UNM Graduate & Professional Student Association and the Latine American Law Student Association (formerly known as the Mexican American Law Student Association, of which I served as president 44 years ago), but also many students and ordinary citizens and alumni of the law school. I personally know and have conversed with current and former faculty and students who oppose Carey鈥檚 reappointment, though some fear retaliation.

I am also disappointed with my former law professors鈥� column, because they mischaracterize the position of the students and interested parties as advocacy for unqualified applicants. Nothing could be further from the truth. These interested parties recognize the need to admit well-qualified applicants who have the intellectual capacity to successfully graduate from law school, and pass the bar exam. It does no good to admit students who are not properly prepared.

Yet, as the former deans and professors acknowledge, the admissions process involves more than the mechanical application of LSAT scores and GPA. Letters of recommendation and life experiences, as shown in personal statements, should be evaluated and weighed equally.

Nothing in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard negates such considerations. In my own experience, I had average GPA and LSAT scores and applied twice for admission, yet graduated in the top 10 of my class, and received the Faculty Award upon graduation. It is a serious disservice by the column authors when they suggest that the concerned organizations and individuals are seeking to 鈥渃reate political chaos to tear down the faculty governance.鈥� Neither do the expressed concerns advocate for a northern New Mexico preference to the exclusion of minority applicants from other areas of the state, including Native American and Black applicants. The authors recognize that one goal of the admissions process is to admit a 鈥渢alented, diverse class of law students who reflect the unique history and culture of our state.鈥� That is exactly what the concerned parties have pushed for, but sadly, has been undermined by Carey.

It would be great if the law school is in fact governed by a dean who sees herself as one who works for the faculty members, and not the reverse. But more importantly, both the dean and the faculty work for the students, and for the state of New Mexico. The law school indeed occupies a unique position in our state. There are almost 200 American Bar Association-accredited law schools in the U.S., and most operate using common criteria and objectives. Only in New Mexico are the state鈥檚 interests and concerns given such high priority. Dean Carey has failed to recognize that distinction and should not be reappointed.
