ADDRESSING TENSION ON CAMPUS
From election stress to fear of human rights violations, we know that both domestic and global issues can deeply impact our diverse population of students, faculty, and staff. Our mission is to cultivate a campus where free expression thrives, but always within a framework of respect and mutual understanding. We are dedicated to supporting our community as we face these stressors together, fostering an environment that prioritizes mental health and open, respectful dialogue.Supportive Resources

- Continue focus on faculty and staff diversity, recruitment, retention, workforce/professional development, career advancement, and success, with a focus on addressing historical and current injustices and inequities.
- Assess UNM’s inclusive climate across all UNM sites to document and address concerns through setting benchmarks and actively working to evolve cultural humility and literacy within our communities.
- Support all offices and units to improve the learning environments in gateway courses and improve student persistence, and inspire students at Branch campuses to consider additional four-year degrees and beyond.
- Provide sustained, overarching, and holistic support of graduate students from underrepresented racial/ethnic minority groups and non-URM students at UNM through mentoring, growth in number of faculty, and enhanced funding sources geared toward academic progress and doctoral degrees.
