UNM Law School Under Fire

A firestorm is erupting at UNM Law as alumni and community members demand the Provost pause renewing Dean Camille Carey’s contract, accusing the school of abandoning its public mission by admitting fewer New Mexico students and mishandling protests and misconduct investigations.

The university says it’s listening and will conduct a thorough review, but pressure mounts to ensure this flagship institution stays true to its promise of serving New Mexico’s communities.
