    UNM weighs COVID-19 vaccination mandate to return to campus

    Santa Fe New Mexican – The University of New Mexico may require students and staff to be vaccinated for COVID-19 to return to campus in the fall. The university on Monday posted a proposed vaccine requirement along with a statement on its plans to return to in-person instruction and regular campus activities. The university said it was seeking comment on the proposed requirement. The requirement would apply to students and staff “unless they have been granted a reasonable accommodation,” the proposal said. In Las Cruces, New Mexico State University officials encourage everyone to get

    Facebook Oversight Board upholds Trump suspension but orders company to review

    CBS News – The Facebook Oversight Board on Wednesday upheld the suspension of former President Donald Trump’s account, four months after Facebook suspended him following the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. But the board said it was “not appropriate for Facebook to impose the indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension.” The board said that Facebook’s “normal” policies include “removing the violating content, imposing a time-bound period of suspension, or permanently disabling the page and account.”Facebook now must

    Intel plans to invest $3.5 billion to modernize New Mexico plant

    Santa Fe New Mexican – RIO RANCHO — How big was it? So big that three members of New Mexico’s congressional delegation — and the governor — showed up. So big that the money figures bandied about dwarfed Facebook’s investment in the state. Intel Corp. on Monday announced a $3.5 billion modernization of its Rio Rancho plant to increase the manufacturing capacity for its next-generation advanced semiconductor technology research and manufacturing — a move that gives new momentum to the New Mexico production facility and provides some badly needed good news on the state’s econ

    Biden’s 1st 100 Days: A Look By The Numbers

    NPR –  As far as artificial milestones go, few dates seem to carry as much weight as a new president’s 100th day in office. It’s a date that former Obama adviser David Axelrod once referred to as a “Hallmark holiday.” In other words, it gets lots of attention but has no actual significance. For better or worse, marking the first 100 days has become a time-honored tradition in Washington. For that, President Biden has Franklin D. Roosevelt to thank. Over the course of his first 100 days in office, FDR not only helped shore up a rapidly deteriorating banking syste

    Winners and losers from first release of 2020 census data

    AP – More than a year since the 2020 census began in a remote Alaska village, the first numbers to emerge from the nation’s once-a-decade head count were released on Monday, showing how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state is getting based on its population. Because the number of seats in the House of Representatives is set at 435, it’s a zero-sum game with one state’s gain resulting in another state’s loss — like a pie with uneven slices. As one state gets a larger slice because of population gains, that means a smaller slice for a state that lost p
