He is leaving his 30-year career at UNM to take a position at his alma mater, Georgia Tech. Abdallah spoke about his time as a Lobo and how he thinks the university can continue to improve access to higher education for students from all backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Producer Sarah Gustavus talks with Greg Williams, and Albuquerque attorney who specializes in open government cases and whose son, an incoming freshman, intended to play soccer during his time at UNM. Men\u2019s soccer, however, was one of four sports the UNM Board of Regents voted last month to cut for financial reasons. At least two complaints have been filed against the regents alleging they violated the state Open Meetings Act. Williams stopped by this week to share his personal and professional reactions to the regents\u2019 decision.<\/p>\n<p>And Gene Grant and the Line opinion panelists debate a federal judge\u2019s ruling that Albuquerque\u2019s DWI vehicle seizure program is unconstitutional. They also discuss reactions to the New Mexico Public Education Department\u2019s planned appeal of an education lawsuit that ruled the state has violated the rights of students who are most \u201cat risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Host:<\/strong> Gene Grant<\/p>\n<p><strong>Correspondent:<\/strong><br \/>\nSarah Gustavus<\/p>\n<p><strong>Studio Guests:<\/strong><br \/>\nGreg Williams, attorney &#038; parent of soccer player<br \/>\nProvost Chaouki Abdallah, University of New Mexico<\/p>\n<p><strong>Line Panelists:<\/strong><br \/>\nDan Foley, former House minority whip<br \/>\nRachel Sams, editor of Albuquerque Business First<br \/>\nLaura Sanchez-Riv\u00e9t, attorney at Cuddy and McCarthy, LLP<br \/>\nMarco Torrez, UNM student, journalism &#038; mass communications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week on New Mexico in Focus, host Gene Grant sits down with current provost and former president of the University of New Mexico Chaouki Abdallah.
