Las Cruces Sun-News: Regent fires back: Board president disputes dismissed professors’ claims of discrimination
LAS CRUCES — “Fed up” with an ongoing controversy dogging the university, the president of New Mexico State University’s board of regents has leveled a number of allegations about two dismissed minority professors.
Bob Gallagher alleges John Moraros and Yelena Bird were wrongfully hired in 2004, against faculty and department head recommendations; that a note in their files warned they would be likely to sue the university for discrimination; that they filed glowing evaluations of their supervisors just before being dismissed; and that they have refused to allow anyone to review their academic records.
