Grad union reaches first contract with UNM

The United Graduate Workers of the University of New Mexico’s first collective bargaining agreement with UNM was ratified by the Union on Dec. 16, 2022 and signed by Provost James Holloway on Dec. 22, 2022. This concludes bargaining that has been ongoing since early May, though not all are satisfied by the final agreement.

The Union has been advocating for better working conditions for graduate workers at the University since 2020. After fighting for recognition as public employees from the Public Employees Labor Relation Board and having encountered numerous road blocks from the University, they were granted recognition and the right to unionize on Aug. 17, 2021. The Union aimed to solidify the causes they had been fighting for since 2020 through the contract, including better pay and working conditions, but in compromise with the University, they fell short of some goals.

Increased pay and a nondiscrimination clause — making race, gender and sexual orientation a

grievable offense via the contract — were proposed by the Union, but neither came to fruition to the extent members wanted, according to Anupam Mitra, an outgoing bargaining committee member.

“(Union members) were not happy with the University’s handling of issues of discrimination and workplace grievances … We believe that the University may not necessarily have the workers’ or members’ interest in mind and might have the University’s interests in mind and, therefore, we think that the Union is in a better place to advocate for our workers,” Mitra said.

The grievance process in a union contract is meant to be a venue for employees to ensure the contract is being honored and respected by their employer, according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement: Grievance Procedure Clause by Practical Law Labor & Employment. A nondiscrimination clause would have added discrimination based on race, gender or sexual orientation to the categories that a union grievance could be filed for, according to Julie Hayes, an outgoing committee bargaining member.

The contract instead continues the prior method of hearing discrimination cases via the Uni-

versity’s Office of Compliance, Ethics & Equal Opportunity, and for complaints to be filed in the Office of Academic Personnel — a system many union members aren’t happy with, according to Mitra.

However, the contract ensures that union members have the right to have a union steward present at any investigatory meetings.

Additionally, while the contract will give all graduate workers, including research assistants, a raise (7.12% to all who were making above the minimum pay and a 10% raise to the minimum pay itself), this still does not meet the rising cost of living in New Mexico, according to Mitra. The cost of living in Albuquerque for a single adult with no children is roughly $26,455 — about $3,000 higher than it was in 2020, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s living wage calculator.

However, the contract section regarding compensation and raises can be reopened and renegotiated once every year, starting next fall. All other parts of the contract will be up for renegotiation in fall 2024.

“We’re disappointed because a lot of things that we wanted, we did not get. In particular, a lot of our members are hurting: they make

significantly lower than the living wage in Albuquerque and a raise (of) 7% for them will be quite small,” Mitra said.

Aside from pay, the only other clause that could change prior to 2024 is health insurance. As the contract stands, graduate workers’ health coverage is not changing from 100% of premiums being covered by the University. However, per a letter filed to the Attorney General, if graduate workers are to be counted as employees instead of students in regards to health insurance, the University would legally only be able to cover 80%, according to Hayes.

Dental and vision coverage was not secured in this contract, with the University only directly outlining in the contract for grad workers to “seek low-cost services that may be offered through the UNM Dental Clinic and UNM Dental Hygiene Services.” Sasha Arteaga, an outgoing bargaining member, feels the low-cost options available aren’t sufficient.

“The benefits say that there is a dental plan available and students are encouraged to go to Novitski Hall. And that seems kind of like a slap in the face and honestly, it is kind of a slap in the face, ”Arteaga

said. “We provided some very equitable solutions for this,”

The University rejected the Union’s proposals on solutions for this issue, including adding grad workers to the UNM Hospitals resident’s plan or the UNM employee plan, according to Arteaga.

Not expecting to see changes before she graduated, Arteaga credits the speed of completion of the first contract — completed in under 300 days compared to an average of 400, according to Blueberg Law — to the organizing skills of the Union, their coordination with others and ability to mobilize their people, as well as research done by the bargaining team.

Grad workers will also now be provided sick leave and the contract will allow for two weeks of paid medical leave, along with newly gaining three days of bereavement leave.

While not directly in the contract itself, the bargaining sessions also resulted in the University allowing the reimbursement of the $350 Student Exchange Visitor Information System fee, that all international graduate students must pay. This will also apply to graduate students see Contract page 2

Men’s basketball: Lobos bested in second loss of the season

On Saturday, Jan. 7 the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team lost to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels at The Pit in front of a sold out crowd. The Lobos have an overall record of 14-2 and are 1-2 in conference play. The Lobos have lost two games in a row after a 14-0 run to start to the season.

UNLV had a hot start from the 3-point line and finished making eight of their 22 attempts; they also made 18 of their 24 free throws. This was UNLV’s first conference win of the season.

Morris Udeze led the team in points and rebounding with 22 and 13; he also had three steals.

Jamal Mashburn Jr. scored 19 points in the game. Jaelen House finished with 12 points and four steals.

Elijah Harkless, the standout player for UNLV this game,

scored 25 points, making eight of his 16 shots and all seven of his free throws.

Mashburn started the game with a mid-range jump shot, and House followed it up with a steal and an easy layup. UNM started the game on an 8-0 run that was ended with a Harkless jumpshot, and on the next possession, Harkless was fouled and made both free throws. At the first media timeout, UNM was up 10-4 with 15:29 left in the first half.

Out of the timeout, UNLV’s Jordan McCabe hit a 3-pointer to cut into the Lobo lead, but House had back-to-back steals to build back the lead. House then made a 3-pointer to put the Lobos up by 10. With 7:56 left in the half, the Lobos were winning 26-14.

Donovan Dent then made an impressive shot driving the lane with the shot clock expiring. Javonté Johnson had a dunk on the fastbreak via a pass from Dent to force UNLV to take a timeout. This led to a Lobo turnover and

UNLV scoring a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 5.

UNM was up by just 2 when Mashburn and House were subbed back into the game to finish the half. Luis Rodriguez made a 3-pointer to put UNLV down 39-38. The Lobos finished the half with House scoring a layup and Udeze scoring a dunk off of a turnover. The Lobos were up 43-38 going into the second half.

The Lobo guards were plagued with fouls in the first half: House, Mashburn and Dent all had two fouls each. This led to KJ Jenkins getting extended minutes after missing the previous game.

The second half started with three consecutive Lobo turnovers and UNLV going on a 9-0 run which put them up 47-43. UNM was forced to call a timeout to try to stop the Runnin’ Rebels’ momentum. Mashburn made a mid-range jump shot to put the Lobos within 1, but more fouling see Bested page 2

“The reason we consider this a big win is for international students coming to the University to study, there are a lot of expenses involved ranging from two sets of visa fees, one of which is this one service … (along with) application fees, the cost of flying internationally, the fact that oftentimes the cost of living in other countries is different from the US. So this is a huge expense

and getting this reimbursement is a big win for our international students,” Mitra said.

Cinnamon Blair, UNM spokesperson, wrote in a comment to the Daily Lobo that the University is “very pleased” to have finished negotiations.

“Graduate student education is critically important at UNM, and graduate assistantships are one important means by which we can

support these students financially. We are very pleased that we were able to successfully negotiate a first contract with UGW-UE and that it has been ratified. We look forward to working collaboratively with the union as the contract is implemented,” Blair wrote.

Moving forward, the Union plans to advocate for the ability to strike which is currently illegal for public employees in the state of New

Mexico. This is a tool that Mitra, Arteaga and Hayes believe would have brought them more power when bargaining.

“We obviously hope for getting a lot more in the future to improve the lives and circumstances of our members. And because of that, I don’t think this is finished. And what we do have in mind is to build on this contract,” Mitra said. ”And we feel that, because we are legally

prohibited from striking, there’s a lot that kind of prevents us from getting some of our demands.”

Lobos within 2 with 5:18 left in the game.

The Lobos kept scoring, but they also kept fouling. Rodriguez was fouled on a made layup and made his free throw to put UNLV up 78-71. UNM came back into

the game with free throws and driving the lane. Mashburn drove the lane to put UNM down 4. With 33 seconds left the Lobos were able to prevent UNLV from inbounding and Mashburn was fouled on his 3-point attempt,

but missed two of his free throws.

UNM immediately fouled, but Rodriguez made both his free throws to seal the game. UNM lost 84-77.

The Lobos will next play against Oral Roberts University

at The Pit on Monday, Jan 9.

UNM College of Nursing reintroduces accelerated BSN degree

Starting the semester of fall 2023, the University of New Mexico College of Nursing will be offering an accelerated bachelor’s of science in nursing as a second degree. The application period for the program began back on Dec. 15, according to the Health Sciences Center website.

This “new” pathway will allow individuals who currently have a college degree, preferably related to science, to acquire a degree in nursing at a faster pace: 16 months rather than the traditional 20 months. The pathway will provide access to all of the resources available at the college, “including state-of-the-art simulation and skills labs steps away from the College of Nursing building,” according to the Health Sciences Center website.

“This is to acknowledge (applicants’) past success and then allow us to address the nursing shortage of 6,000-plus nurses

in the state of New Mexico and to provide another opportunity to New Mexicans to become registered professional nurses with a bachelor’s degree,” Patricia Watts Kelley, the associate dean for research and scholarship of the College of Nursing at UNM, said.

Currently, there is a significant shortage of nurses that has affected the country in the last couple of years and will continue to increase: the demand for registered nurses is expected to be more than 3.6 million by the year 2030 with New Mexico having been estimated to be short of over 6,200 nurses, according to US News

The accelerated track was priorly offered at the College of Nursing almost 20 years ago, but it was shut down, according to Kristen Ostrem, the interim assistant dean of undergraduate education at the College.

“There are lots of nursing jobs out there, so graduates will find a job. In fact, they’ll have so many choices of where they want to work. We’re hoping they’ll stay

in New Mexico because New Mexico has a very serious nursing shortage,” Ostrem said.

Watts Kelley put together the new track at UNM based on her experience and expertise at Duquesne University, where she worked with veterans who wanted to become registered nurses and already had a college degree. Other universities across the nation also have similar programs that last between 12-15 months.

“(The program has) been successful in other colleges before, and so it’s designed for them to kind of jump in and start off with high credit hours and high demands, but it’s been successful all over the nation. So we’re feeling really good about it,” Ostrem said.

In fall 2023, the program will accept cohorts of 25 students, but it will continue to grow to up to 125 students in the following five years, according to Watts Kelley.

“We’re all very different. But if we can harness our expertise, we can be very successful in many different ways. And not one size

fits all,” Watts Kelley said. “And so, to educate people in different tracks that need people’s past experiences, personalities and current life situations, I think, is innovative. And embracing diversity and cultural experiences.”

Currently, both Watts Kelley and Ostrem are working to hire

it.

OPINION: What’s a New Year’s resolution without resolve?

For most people, the new year brings a fresh chance to start over with a clean slate and implement changes into one’s life. However, each year, New Year’s resolutions create the opposite of resolve. Instead, they serve only as another thing to do in a world full of short-lived trends.

I don’t have a problem with the idea behind resolutions. In fact, I like the idea of having a long-term goal for the year — it seems to me as if they can only provide benefits. However, as we often see, that’s not quite the case.

Resolutions are usually based on social ideals and not truely achievable lifestyle changes. These ideals follow cultural trends that may be harmful. For example, one of the most common resolutions involves losing weight. Dieting can actually increase the likelihood of weight gain in the future, according to a study found in the National Library of Medicine.

Not only does fluctuating weight at an extreme cause physical health hazards, but bad self-esteem as well. This is in part due to the diet being a short-term commitment

A paper and pen lay on a desk for New Year Resolutions. Photo by Tim Mossholder on Unsplash. and not a long-term habit. This trend seems to apply to most resolutions.

My other problem is the guilt associated with not following through. Guilt shouldn’t have a place in resolutions. If someone makes a resolution to benefit themselves, as is custom, then why should they feel guilty about it if they can’t succeed? A year can be unpredictable, and wants

and needs change. It’s not fair to hold yourself to the same path if you don’t want that anymore, and it’s not failure to change your goals.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a resolution as “the firm decision to do or not do.” That sentiment sounds like Yoda to me. As much as I love Yoda, I have to disagree with him here. Trying is integral to resolve, be -

cause like Obi-Wan Kenobi said, “Only a Sith deals in absolutes.”

Resolutions have existed in popular culture for a long period of time, at least 200 years according to Merriam-Webster. Almost as long as the concept has been around, it’s been satirized.

Cultural standards seem to be that if something isn’t done perfectly, it shouldn’t be done at all. Do or do not. Instead, I propose

that if one makes a resolution, they also resolve to give themselves a bit of grace.

My last issue comes from my observations that goals with a start date feel like permission to do whatever the person wants before that start. Then, when it comes time to start, alongside starting, they’ve got to break the habits they’ve built in preparation. If you’re resolving to do something this year, starting the day of the resolution may be the way to go, rather than waiting until a flashy date to start and continuing your habits in the meantime. It’s better to get up and go and not wait until some arbitrary date to start doing what you want to do.

Resolutions can be fun if done with the right frame of mind and not taken too seriously.

Not everything has to serve you or the people around you in some great and meaningful way. It’s okay if you do something just because it makes you happy — that’s the best resolution of all.

5 and Why: 5 tips to help survive senioritis

The spring semester is about to begin at the University of New Mexico and with that, a new set of seniors and another wave of burnout. UNM’s Student Health and Counseling and the Women’s Resource Center came together to give us five tips to prevent and survive senioritis.

“Stress is an inevitable part of college. But it’s definitely (on the) high-end your senior year. This is where you are feeling that burnout; you have a lack of motivation. Maybe you’re a little bit lazier than you were previously. You can have feelings of hopelessness. You can have thoughts of giving up. You may also feel panic and anxiety and worry as well,” Tiffany Martinez-Durant, education and outreach manager for SHAC, said.

Keep organized

Having a well-structured

schedule can often be the main key one needs to alleviate senioritis and burnout. Martinez-Durant is an advocate for scheduling not only responsibilities, but also self-care, into your life. Scheduling can help you organize all academic, extracurricular and professional activities. Knowing what in your to-do list is a priority and what isn’t along with adding timelines can help you complete what you need to do without stressing about when you’ll get it done.

Listen to your body

Senioritis is a type of burnout that students develop after many years of constant stress, according to Traye Holland, the mental health and development specialist at SHAC. With it comes symptoms such as tiredness, lack of motivation, body aches, and feeling more prone to illness. It’s important to watch out for those symptoms and behaviors, as they work as a warning sign that tells you your body is not able

to catch up with the demands of exterior factors.

“There’s a whole bunch of different things that can come with burnout that you can notice, or even just go through without even really paying attention to. I think human beings struggle with paying attention to their body’s needs because they get so into their own heads,” Holland said. “And I think we would benefit so much from just every now and then … just stopping for a moment, and becoming aware of what’s around you and how your body feels.”

Have a support system

One of the signs of senioritis and burnout can be self-isolation. This can manifest as not making time for the people who you care about because you feel you need to concentrate on one specific thing. Students can often forget they have people who can be a resource to them and not only a distraction. Making time for others can also be

a form of self-care, according to Michael Lovato, a UNM campus advocate at the WRC.

“Making sure you have friends when you are feeling overwhelmed who can help you concentrate again, or a parent or sibling: someone who you can talk to. And someone who can motivate you, someone who can be like, ‘hey, you need to get this done,’” Lovato said.

Remember your goals

After years of hard work to earn your degree, working one or multiple jobs and just dealing with life overall, seniors often forget what their main goal in college is — and also how close they are to the finish line. Holland believes that asking yourself why you even started this journey and why you decided to continue through the hard times can be the last push you need to finish it.

“And the number one thing is just to make sure you keep your

original goal in mind. Just remind yourself what you’re here for and what you’re doing. I think education is a beautiful thing, and I think college is a great experience and it can be a great launching pad,” Holland said.

Don’t sink into stasis

Finally, burnout isn’t a permanent state that you can’t come back from. Holland said it’s good to be aware that you can recover. As a college student, you will make mistakes and experience failure, but they do not have to define your entire college experience.

“(College students’) body and minds are a little bit more resilient. Right? They can recover quicker.” Holland said. “(If) You don’t rise to your potential, you fall to your habits.”

Football: Lobo football announces new offensive, defensive coordinators

On Sunday, Jan. 1 the University of New Mexico started the new year by announcing the hiring of Bryant Vincent as the football team’s offensive coordinator. Later in the week on Jan. 5, cornerbacks coach Troy Reffett was promoted to defensive coordinator due to previous defensive coordinator Rocky Long’s departure to Syracuse University.

UNM started the year with Derek Warehime as offensive coordinator, but after the offense struggled to score, Warehime was fired and quarterback coach Heath Ridenour was promoted in the interim.

Vincent previously served as the interim head coach at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, having been promoted in summer 2022 after previous UAB coach Bill Clark retired. He led the team to a 7-6 record and a 24-20 win in the Bahamas Bowl. Vincent

has been coaching since 1996 and has spent the last five seasons at UAB focusing on the offense. This season, UAB averaged 30.1 points per game which would have put them as the second highest-scoring offense if they were part of the Mountain West conference.

In a press release, head coach Danny Gonzales praised Vincent on his leadership ability and expressed his excitement for him joining the program.

“I’m thrilled to have someone with the caliber and experience of Coach Vincent joining our staff,” Gonzales wrote. “To step into the interim role as head coach last year at UAB and led the team to a win in the Bahamas Bowl is a credit to how well-prepared he is and how well-prepared his team at UAB was.”

Out of 131 football bowl subdivision teams, the Lobos are currently last, having put up just 228.1 yards per game last season. UNM scored only 15 touchdowns

and failed to score a touchdown in five games this season.

On Saturday, Dec. 17 UNM announced that Long was stepping down as defensive coordinator, opting to take the same position at Syracuse. Long was key in turning the Lobos into a top 50 defense in the country and left to coach in a more prestigious conference. Gonzales then promoted Reffett to lead the defense.

Reffett has been with the Lobos since 2020 and was previously the defensive coordinator for UNM during the 2008 season when Long was the head coach. His area of expertise is cornerbacks, but he has plenty of experience as a defensive coordinator from previously leading the defense for the University of Texas at El Paso, University of

Louisiana at Monroe and University of North Texas. He has also coached in nine bowl games throughout his career.

In the press release announcing Reffett’s promotion, Gonzales said he was happy to be able to promote someone within the organization to keep continuity on defense and to have someone very familiar with the 3-3-5 defensive scheme UNM is known for under Long. He also credited Reffett’s previous success throughout his coaching career.

“I’m excited to have Coach Reffett serve as defensive coordinator because it will give us continuity in the things we have been doing defensively,” Gonzales wrote. “He has a tremendous track record of success, and he will be able to continue coaching

the scheme that has proven to be successful for us over the past few years.”

The defense gave up an average of 360.2 yards last season which put them as the 46th best team in total defense in the country and seventh in the conference. The defense played a lot of snaps this season which led to fatigue in games, giving up late scoring: the defense played 780 plays compared to 694 on offense.

The greatest challenge for the defense in the offseason will be finding replacements for key players who are graduating or entering the transfer portal after this season. Cody Moon led the team in tackles with 105, but he transferred to San Diego State University after three seasons at UNM. Jerrick Reed II was

second in tackles and after the season, officially declared for the NFL draft. All-American true freshman AJ Haulcy transferred to University of Houston. Reco Hannah and Justin Harris both used their super senior season for 2022.
