Stokes discloses UNM Foundation holdings

By Lily Alexander & Nate Bernard @llilyalexander & @natebernard14

Published online Aug. 21

University of New Mexico President Garnett Stokes disclosed UNM Foundation holdings in her “President’s Weekly Perspective” email on Monday, Aug. 19. The 83-page document lists the funds the UNM Foundation invests in, but only lists the individual investments within 25 out of 84 of those funds.

The investments within a fund are known as “securities.”

This comes ahead of the first Board of Regents meeting of the academic year on Thursday, Aug. 22, during which Stokes is expected to discuss the disclosure, according to the UNM Palestine Solidarity Camp Instagram. The meeting will take place at the UNM Valencia campus.

In May, following a meeting with the UNM Divestment Coalition, Stokes committed to the University researching and disclosing information from its investment portfolio over the summer. The Divestment Coalition called for UNM to divest from companies based in Israel or companies that indirectly aid the Israeli military.

The UNM Foundation is a non -

profit separate from UNM that manages the University’s investments. The UNM Foundation’s total investments, called the Consolidated Investment Fund, were detailed in the newly released document.

The portfolio’s market value totals about $806 million, which is diversified across multiple asset classes, including U.S. equity and international equity — UNM’s two largest investment classes.

In July, the Daily Lobo revealed details of the University’s holdings gained through public records requests. This included shares in funds that invest in Israeli companies.

All of the funds UNM invests in are included in the released CIF holdings. Only the securities within 25 of these funds are included, according to the CIF holdings, such as for Axiom International Small Cap Equity Fund and Arrowstreet Emerging Market Trust Fund.

Axiom owns shares in Nice Ltd. — an Israeli technology company — as the Daily Lobo reported in July. Nice is Axiom’s fifth most heavily weighted company, according to the released CIF holdings.

UNM’s largest international index fund investment, BlackRock ACWI ex USA Index, equals around 15% of UNM’s total investment portfolio. UNM did not release the securities

within BlackRock on Aug. 19, though they were detailed by the Daily Lobo in July. BlackRock owns shares in 14 Israeli companies.

Securities are considered “proprietary information,” meaning fund managers may oppose disclosing details of the funds to the public, according to the released CIF holdings. UNM reached out to each fund manager to request approval to release securities within specific investments, the released CIF holdings read.

Proprietary information is confidential information that is not generally known by the public, according to Cornell Law.

“We will continue to provide relevant updates as available, understanding that some information is protected by nondisclosure agreements or other legal constraints,” Stokes’ email reads.

Updated Aug. 22

At the Aug. 22 Regents meeting, neither Stokes nor the Regents mentioned the University’s investments or the recent disclosure. A group of pro-Palestine protesters sat in the audience with signs and Palestinian flags.

For public comment, the Regents allotted 15 total minutes each to the “pro-divestment” and “anti-divestment” perspectives, as described by the Regents — consistent with the previous Regents meeting in May, during which protesters called for divestment.

The meeting marked the first time a regular Regents meeting has been held outside Albuquerque since June 2018, when one was held at the UNM Gallup campus, according to

UNMPD to begin using body-worn cameras

By Lily Alexander & Lauren Lifke

The University of New Mexico Police Department will obtain and begin using body-worn cameras within the next six months.

The decision follows reporting in November 2023 and March 2024 by the Daily Lobo that discussed a loophole in a statute that requires most New Mexico police departments to use the devices.

The Daily Lobo’s investigation — along with reporting from KOB in April — prompted new discussions about UNMPD getting body cameras, UNM Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Cin -

namon Blair said.

“There had kind of been a renewed interest over the end of last year, beginning of this year, which had brought that conversation back to the table,” Blair said.

Conversations about UNMPD not using the devices also resurged following the response to pro-Palestine protests on campus last spring, during which 23 people were arrested.

At least one campus security camera wasn’t functioning properly during the protests, Blair said.

After the body camera statute initially took effect in 2020, UNM’s legal counsel determined that its police department was exempt, according to Blair.

In a statement to the Daily Lobo, New Mexico American Civil Liber-

Inside this Lobo

ties Union Executive Director, Peter Simonson, wrote that he hopes the state legislature will update the statute to explicitly include university police departments.

“Campus communities should not have to depend on voluntary measures to ensure their safety and rights are protected,” Simonson wrote.

Instead of body cameras, the University focused on the 3,000 security cameras across campus, Blair said. These cameras do not have sound, but UNMPD officers are also required to have audio recorders that they activate upon public interaction, per one Standard Operating Procedures manual.

“We’ve had these large-scale events — like the protests on campus — where we’ve had very helpful footage,

the Regents website.

New Mexico Rep. Eleanor Chávez (D-Albuquerque) attended the meeting and spoke alongside the pro-divestment group during public comment. To her, it seemed like the Aug. 19 disclosure was incomplete, she said.

“If (UNM enters) into these contracts with these investment companies that allow them to refuse disclosure, then we shouldn’t be entering into those kinds of contracts,” Chávez said. “We should

not be investing in those kinds of companies, because obviously they have something to hide.”

but it’s not complete,” Blair said.

UNMPD signed a five-year contract with the company Axon, which will provide the body cameras, according to Blair.

Implementation will cost the University $344,000 for the first year, which includes the hiring of a new lieutenant, Blair said. The lieutenant will make a salary of $44.61 per hour and preferably have experience in developing policy and administering body cameras, according to the UNM Jobs posting.

The money will come from UNM’s general operating funds, Blair said, but the University will request state funding in the future.

UNMPD does not have dashcams in its vehicles, Blair said, but may look into obtaining them.

UNMPD Public Information Officer Larry Bitsoih — who Blair said was the sole UNMPD point of contact for information on the body-camera implementation — was unavailable to provide comment to the Daily Lobo in the two weeks leading up to publication.

“The body-worn cameras could ensure, beyond a doubt, that we’re protecting both the interests of our community and the officers,” Blair said.

Walkable local business spotlight: Snapdragon Tea and the ‘dog days of summer’

By Shin Thant Hlaing @DailyLobo

Snapdragon Tea, a seven-minute walk from the University of New Mexico Main Campus, has a whimsical, eclectic atmosphere that matches the whimsy of its name.

Snapdragon Tea is regularly holding themed tea parties called Dog Days of Summer through Sept. 8. An overview of the event reads, “join us in a celebration of dogs, humanity’s long-time companions of more than 30,000 years.”

The phrase “dog days of summer”

PHOTO STORY: Lobo Women’s Volleyball

originates from an observation by ancient Greek and Roman people that the hottest, most humid months of the summer coincided with the rise of Sirius, the Dog Star, according to Almanac.

Snapdragon Tea hosts different themed tea parties about once a month, according to co-owner Vanessa Vesperman and decided on this one since it had not previously held a dog-themed party.

The establishment features a free library and a community blackboard against beige and baby-blue walls.

“Our intention with Snapdragon Tea is to be a casual, fun and accessible teahouse. Those are the things

we always try to hit on just in general, but also within our tea parties,” Vesperman said.

Dog Days of Summer involves an attention to detail in everything, including funny dog videos playing in the background in honor of the dog theme. The party also features iridescent teapots and sandwiches on trays.

“There’s little Easter eggs in everything,” Vesperman said.

The tea party comes with three courses of specialized menu items: an appetizer course, a savory course and a dessert course.

Items on the menu include tomato balls and mozzarella frisbees in a

“puprese” salad, as well as a parfait that you have to dig through to find “toys our dog friend has buried.”

The full Dog Days of Summer experience costs $34.95 per person. But the children’s menu, for $18.50 per person, is open to “children of all ages.” This means that yes, college students count, too.

The children’s menu contains a few stars of the show like the peanut butter scone, puppy chow chili and the backyard treasure parfait.

Snapdragon Tea also has glutenfree options and is vegan friendly, with substitutions available for every item on the tea party menu.

The business tries to support other local businesses, according to Vesperman.

“We get our teas from the New Mexico Tea Company, and we get our espresso beans, potato chips

and our kombucha all from New Mexico,” Vesperman said.

Snapdragon Tea developed the herbal prickly pear tea — its signature blend — with the New Mexico Tea Company.

The teahouse offers its regular menu of food and drinks during its open hours Tuesday-Friday 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. and weekends 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Next, the business will host its Feline Frolic tea party, a cat-themed event beginning on weekends after Sept. 13.

“We’re a great place to come check out if you just need a break from classes,” Vesperman said.

Campus crime: Week of Aug. 18

Suspect breaks into University Stadium concession stand

By Lauren Lifke @lauren_lifke

Editor’s note: The crimes listed were entered into the log during the week. The list includes crimes that police entered last week but allegedly occurred before that. It does not include crimes that may have occurred but weren’t entered into the log.

From Aug. 18 through Sunday, Aug. 25, there were 18 crimes reported on or near the University of New Mexico campus that were entered into its daily crime log.

University Stadium break-in

On Monday, Aug. 19, a suspect broke into University Stadium and entered the west tower concession stand. Property was taken without authorization, according to the crime log. The stolen property wasn’t specified in the log, and the case is labeled as “closed.”

Arrest at University of New Mexico Hospital

Five total instances of battery — “the unlawful touching of another person,” according to LawInfo — were reported last week and entered into the log.

On Tuesday, Aug. 20, a subject was arrested at UNMH. The subject spit on an officer and had a felony warrant, according to the crime log, and the offense was listed as “battery on a police officer.”

Simple battery

There were two recorded instances of “simple battery,” which does not always cause harm or injury, accord-

ing to LawInfo. On Aug. 20, a hospital employee reportedly committed simple battery against a patient at UNMH. The crime log does not specify the nature of the incident.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, a victim was touched in their groin area by a suspect at the UNMH Adult Psychiatric Center. The log does not list whether the suspect or victim was a patient or employee, but the incident is not listed as “battery on a health care worker.”

Battery on a health care worker

The two other listed instances of battery were inflicted upon health care workers.

On Aug. 19, a victim reported that a patient punched him in the face three times at the UNMH Children’s Psychiatric Center.

On Aug. 20, another instance of battery on a health care worker occurred at UNMH. The crime log does not specify the nature of the incident. The incident was exceptionally cleared, which occurs when “elements beyond law enforcement’s control prevent the agency from arresting and formally charging the offender,” according to the FBI.

Missing person

On Aug. 17, a juvenile ran away from the mental health center at UNMH and was found nearby the next day.

Auto burglary

On Aug. 19, batteries were reportedly taken from a golf cart at Novitski Hall. Criminal damage/graffiti

On Aug. 16, unknown suspects entered the Center for Advanced Research Computing and damaged

several heating and cooling units. The incident was entered into the crime log on Aug. 25. On Aug. 19, a suspect caused water damage to the UNMH building. The incident was exceptionally cleared.

Larceny

Seven instances of larceny — defined as “the unlawful taking of personal property,” according to Merriam-Webster — were entered into the crime log last week. There were four instances of stolen bicycles, and there was one instance of stolen money. Another incident occurred at Johnson Center, but the log does not specify what was stolen.

The seventh incident was of a stolen motor vehicle near the economics building.

Unlawful taking of a motor vehicle

There was one additional recorded instance of a stolen motor vehicle, which occurred at C-Lot.

Football: Lobos fourth-quarter collapse leads to Montana State victory

By Rodney Prunty @rprunty05

Hope was in the air for the Lobos as things were looking good throughout the first three quarters. Unfortunately, that hope quickly diminished as the Lobos self-destructed in the fourth quarter, ultimately losing to Montana State University 35-31.

The University of New Mexico football team faced off against the Montana State Bobcats to kick off the new season. This was a highly anticipated game for many, as it was the coaching debut for Bronco Mendenhall, who was hired by UNM back in December.

In the first quarter, the Lobos had an uneventful drive on offense, but the defense jolted energy into the team midway through Montana State’s first drive. Linebacker Jayden Wilson forced a fumble that safety Christian Ellis recovered and returned all the way for a scoop-and-score.

Later in the quarter, after another defensive stop, quarterback Devon Dampier was able to show off his arm as he connected on a 53-yard bomb

to Luke Wysong. The drive only resulted in 3 points, but the Lobo defense was able to hold off Montana State for the rest of the quarter.

When the second quarter rolled around, the Lobos made another offensive splash as Dampier connected with Trace Bruckler on a 12-yard touchdown pass to give the Lobos a 17-0 lead.

Montana State responded — not once, but twice — as it put together two touchdown drives, cutting the lead down to 3, which remained the case until the two-minute warning.

With less than two minutes left to go in the half, Dampier ran 24 yards into the end zone untouched to push the Lobo lead to 24-14. The Lobos rode that lead into halftime.

The Lobos’ defense came out with a statement play to start the third quarter on Montana State’s first drive. Edge rusher Gabriel Lopez got to the quarterback and forced another fumble, which was picked up and brought all the way into the end zone by corner Noah Avinger for the second Lobo defensive touchdown.

Not much action happened af -

ter that; the Lobos missed a field goal to extend the lead by even more. Nonetheless, they led 31-14 through three quarters.

When the fourth quarter began, it seemed that all the momentum was in the Lobos’ favor. Montana State then went on a scoring drive, cutting the lead down to 10. It seemed like the Lobos would respond, but what resulted was another missed field goal by Luke Drzewiecki.

After that, Montana State’s offense took the field and made the Lobos pay for that miscue, as the Bobcats’ first play of the drive was a 93-yard touchdown. With the score at 31-28, it was anyone’s game. The Lobos possessed the ball with less than three minutes left to go.

On a critical third down, Dampier threw to wide receiver Caleb Medford, who dropped the pass that could have resulted in the Lobos running out the clock and winning the game. Instead, the Lobos punted back to the Bobcats. Dampier and the offense could only watch from the sideline as the Montana State offense drove down the field and scored the game-winning

Eddie Nuñez leaves UNM for University of Houston

David Williams named interim vice president/director of athletics

By Thomas Bulger @thomasbulger10

Last week, the University of New Mexico announced that Vice President/Director of Athletics Eddie Nuñez would be joining the University of Houston Big 12 conference member. His official title there will be as the vice president for intercollegiate athletics, according to UH Athletics.

Nuñez spent seven years leading Lobo athletics, and a UNM press release reflected on many of the accomplishments under his tenure. From 2017-24, the Lobos had 53 NCAA tournament appearances and 22 Mountain West titles. On the academic side, UNM had 1,517 students named to Mountain West All-Academic teams, the most of any Mountain West school over that time period, according to the press release.

One of Nuñez’s greatest accomplishments was restoring the Lobo men’s basketball program to some of its former glory with the hiring of Head Coach Richard Pitino. This led the Lobos to win the Mountain West Tournament and earn an NCAA tournament bid this past season.

The Lobos also led the conference in average attendance for home

games, according to the NCAA. Pitno expressed gratitude to Nuñez for his hiring in a statement posted to X.

“Eddie believed in me during a tough time and helped rejuvenate my coaching career. I will always be grateful for him leading me to New Mexico and am rooting for his success in Houston,” Pitino wrote in the statement.

There were also some misfires during Nuñez’s time with UNM. Namely, the football program did not see a level of success on par with UNM’s other athletic teams. A global pandemic, changes in NIL and new transfer portal rules disrupted the Danny Gonzales era of Lobo football.

However, Nuñez brought in experienced coach Bronco Mendenhall out of retirement to help rebuild the program and hopefully eventually bring UNM football to its first bowl game since 2016.

Despite just being hired in December, Mendenhall said at a press conference that Nuñez’s departure will not affect his coaching going forward.

“Eddie Nuñez did an exceptional job at UNM, and new opportunities come when you do great work. Anything other than gratitude or excitement for him doesn’t seem to be aligned … I was hired to coach the

football team. Regardless of who I answer to, that doesn’t change,” Mendenhall said at the press conference.

Nuñez initially made $420,000 a year, which was raised to $520,000 annually after he signed a new contract with the University this June, according to the Albuquerque Journal. This new contract was through June 2029.

Nuñez will get a significant raise working in Houston. His new fiveyear deal lands him $5 million total plus incentives over the course of the contract, according to MSN.

On Wednesday, Aug. 21, UNM named David Williams as the interim vice president/director of athletics. Williams has been with UNM since 2019; he previously served as assistant vice president/deputy athletic director. Over the course of 13 years he was the director of athletics at three different Division II programs: the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Missouri Western State University and Kentucky Wesleyan College.

Williams will earn a salary of $325,000 until a permanent director is named, according to a press release.

In the press release, UNM President Garnett Stokes relayed her confidence in Williams as the search for a new athletics director begins.

“His deep understanding of collegiate athletics and his strong

touchdown, completing a 17-point fourth-quarter comeback.

The Lobos’ offense got shut out in the second half. Despite having a good first half, just eight out of Dampier’s 26 passing attempts came in the second half.

“I have belief in my coaches. At the end of the day, what they believe (is) best for the team (is what) I’m going to do. It was the right call,” Dampier said.

Coach Mendenhall thinks that the offensive shut-out in the second half was due to both the lack of execution by the team and Montana State’s defense, he said.

“It’s both: Montana State played very well and we didn’t execute, espe-

cially on third down. We couldn’t get the chains moving,” Mendenhall said.

Avinger reflected on the game.

“The loss hurts, but at the end of the day, you got to move forward. That’s the biggest thing,” Avinger said.

The Lobos will look to turn it around next game as they travel to play against the Arizona Wildcats, currently ranked at 21 in college football, according to the Associated Press.

Rodney Prunty is a freelance reporter for the Daily Lobo. He can be contacted at sports@dailylobo.com or on X @rprunty05

commitment to our student athletes’ success make him the ideal choice to guide UNM Athletics at this time, Stokes said in the press release. With Dave Williams leading UNM Athletics, I am convinced that our forward momentum will continue unabated as we embark on a national search for a permanent director of athletics.”

The timeline for the search is still being finalized, according to the press release.

Summer 2024 fashion was “brat” one week, coquette the next. And with the changing season, it’s uncertain what new fashion trends will arise. Two Daily Lobo editors predicted the outfits you’ll be seeing around campus in the coming weeks.

“Midwest Princess”

Inspired by Chappell Roan’s sudden rise to worldwide fame this summer following her 2023 debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” the “midwest princess” look will soon start to appear in your local coffee shop. The aesthetic features camo caps, baggy T-shirts, jorts and whale tales.

The “midwest princess” look is notably political: recently, Vice President Kamala Harris and her presidential running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz released a now-sold out camo baseball hat with “Harris-Walz” in orange lettering. Roan sells a similar cap.

2014 Tumblr

For Gen Z, the 2014 Tumblr era shaped both our personalities and our outfits. Ten years later, people are returning to the fishnet tights, oversized flannels, space buns and pleated miniskirts.

The look is inspired by music, similar to the “midwest princess,” though the vibe is disparate. Think the on-stage style of the Arctic Monkeys, Twenty One Pilots and Halsey at the time.

Tumblr in 2014 was a sometimestoxic place, especially for kids with unrestricted internet access. The resurgence of its fashion is a way for people to take back the trends it brought without the unhealthy behavior — like disordered eating and substance abuse — it glorified.

Crop tops for everyone

Though fashion is gender neutral, crop tops are stereotypically thought of as feminine. But in the 1980s, crop tops were a trend for all, especially men and masculine-presenting people. This fall, that notion will return.

Think back to Prince’s iconic appearances in the crop top, or Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers sporting the item in “Rocky III.” Will Smith wore one in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

The jury’s still out on whether ‘80sstyle short-shorts will be back in too, but we’re here for it.

Denim

Denim bikinis, denim miniskirts, denim boots, denim corsets, denim everything. While the Canadian tuxedo never truly left, denim will soon be back in full force.

You may have noticed that many trends of the 2020s have come from 2000s fashion and icons like Britney Spears (who could forget the 2001 American Music Awards?), Christina Aguilera and Rihanna. Denim is no different.

This trend is especially simple to style, since you can just pair it with more denim.

“Matrix” core

In light of the increasingly scifi-esque state of the world, fashion inspired by the 1999 film “The Matrix” will become popular this fall, with a twist.

Gen Z artists and influencers like Alex Consani and Troye Sivan embody this trend. They solve the dilemma of what club rat baddies are supposed to do in cold weather. The aesthetic of baby tees, leather, trench coats, bikini bottoms and “Matrix” glasses allow everyone to slay and serve through all the seasons.

An in-depth look at Walt Disney World’s new Villians Land

By Addison Fulton @DailyLobo

On Aug. 11, Disney announced plans to build Villains Land as a new expansion of the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World. The area will be themed around iconic Disney villains from various films. The promotional video posted to the Disney Parks Instagram teased Lady Tremaine from “Cinderella,” Gaston from “Beauty and the Beast” and the fairest of them all: the Evil Queen from “Snow White.” Disney is probably attempting to draw in more visitors and ticket sales with the announcement of Villains Land, seeing as the parks are no longer drawing in the revenue they once did. Reuters reported earlier this month that Disney’s experiences segment, which includes parks and consumer products, recorded an operating income drop of 3%.

Couple that with Disney’s theme park rival, Universal Studios, unveiling plans for the Isle of Berk — a “How to Train Your Dragon” themed park with dragons that really fly — and you can see why Disney might be looking for friends on the other side, as Dr. Facilier from the “The Princess and the Frog” would say.

Josh D’Amaro, the Disney Experiences chairman, specifically referenced the catchphrases and iconic songs of Scar from “The Lion King” and Ursula from “The

Little Mermaid” in a blog post, announcing, “Be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls.”

The choice of theme and promotional characters comes at an interesting time.

Many of Disney’s villains, and certainly its most iconic, are “Queercoded” — a term that in film and literature that means a character is meant to be seen as potentially LGBTQ+ without the artwork explicitly stating as such.

Scar, the main antagonist of “The Lion King,” for example, is portrayed as much more flamboyant than his brother Mufasa and his nephew Simba. He is an outcast among his family. Even some of his gesticulation with his paws seems to emulate the “limp wrists” stereotypically associated with gay men in popular culture.

Ursula, the other character referenced in D’Amaro’s announcement, was based explicitly on the drag queen Divine. Ursula’s design took direct inspiration from Divine’s high, drawn-on eyebrows, flamboyant style and curves, according to Time.

Much of the Queer-coding of Disney villains is a byproduct of the culture of homophobia at the time of the films’ creations. Through much of Disney’s history, the Hays Code — a set of rules for what could and couldn’t be shown in film — expressly forbade depictions of Queerness unless they were negative. That’s why very few characters can be seen as gay, and if they can be seen as gay, they must also be seen as “bad.”

Even after the Hays Code was repealed in 1968, its impacts on the creation and portrayal of villains in children’s media were palpable, especially in Disney films throughout the 1980s and ‘90s.

Today, Disney is hit-or-miss — to put it gently — with its LGBTQ+ representation.

Throughout June, Disneyland Park hosts a designated Pride Nite with character performers, many of whom are villains. But Disney’s newer attempts at Queer representation in its films have underdeveloped characters, very little screen time or both.

Despite the harmful impacts, many LGBTQ+ Disney fans feel a special and deep bond with Disney’s villains. The villains are arguably some of Disney’s best characters: they have the most iconic looks and the catchiest songs, and now they may have one of the best theme parks.

Gogo Revalee — or Gogo K. Bootz, as she’s known in the drag community — is a drag queen and University of New Mexico student who has been performing in New Mexico for over eight years. She said she feels that Disney’s history with LGBTQ+ characters and issues has been long and tumultuous.

“I feel you see characters in Disney that are Queer and campy, and you feel represented. But at the same time, during the time that these characters were made, they were not meant to be positive. They’re supposed to represent the evil in these worlds,” Revalee said.

Disney’s attempts at including the LGBTQ+ community have drawn the ire of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and many of his alt-right supporters.

In 2022, DeSantis signed the Pa-

rental Rights in Education Act, more colloquially known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Disney, after receiving pressure from employees and fans, spoke up against the bill, according to the New York Times.

Disney’s position, as well as other progressive policies — such as Disney Pride, the retheming of the Splash Mountain ride and changing the greeting at the beginning of firework shows from “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” to just “dreamers of all ages” — caused DeSantis and Fox News to label Disney as “woke” and “lacking in morality,” the New York Times reported.

DeSantis also attempted to retaliate directly and financially against Disney World. Since the ‘60s, Disney has enjoyed a special tax and zoning status that allowed the park to functionally self-govern. DeSantis stripped the park of its special status in 2022; however, he realized that the maneuver would force the neighboring districts to absorb the park’s fire protection, police and road maintenance costs, according to the New York Times.

Eventually, the decision was undone, but Disney lost the power to appoint members to the oversight board for the

tax district. That power instead rests in the hands of DeSantis.

Disney challenged DeSantis’ control over the board in federal court in 2023 and lost. In March, Disney announced that all pending lawsuits with DeSantis and the Florida legislature were resolved through a settlement, according to NPR.

For fans, Villains Land could represent an exciting new park with classic, beloved characters and a fresh aesthetic never really seen before in Disney parks. Or it could represent a swan song from a dying company that can’t find its footing in a changing political and economic landscape.

“(Disney is) doing a good job of giving the people what they want. From the beginning of time, people have been obsessed with the villains,” Revalee said. “I mean, you’re going to have people who resonate with an antagonist … I think it’s finally giving audiences that have stuck with Disney for a very long time what they would like.”
