NM #HorrorStories from @NorthernNNMC & more from the #adjunct news cycle

…the #NNMC story in drafts that I should have stayed awake to send out two days ago is, by now, somewhat superseded by a more recent article in yesterday's Albuquerque Journal. Instead, see below for a list of NM news links to stories about the NNMC mess.

How recyclable the earlier draft commenting on  a Santa Fe Mexican article remains to be seen. Neither paper generally spends much non-booster time on higher education, so coverage now is both a plus and a sure sign just how bad things are. If this were a higher profile part of the country, higher ed media would be all over the story like white on rice. Presumably the state AFT Chapter would be paying more attention to their local than NM AFT, which does not even have an NM higher education page. Let's hope everybody — in-state and out — wakes up and starts paying attention. I'm making a project out of helping that happen.

Elsewhere, a mercifully brief, partial recap of the "adjunct news cycle" followed by NNMC links…
