This week\u00a0on\u00a0New Mexico in Focus,\u00a0we head to the Institute of American Indian Arts. For the second time in as many years, the institute’s future is uncertain as President Trump threatens to cut billions in funding for higher education, including more than $350 million from minority-serving programs. That puts IAIA squarely in the crosshairs.\u00a0President\u00a0Shelly Loew\u00a0spoke to host Nash Jones about her first year leading the college, whether she expects Congress to reject Trump’s cuts again, and how this financial uncertainty has affected her students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Executive Producer Jeff Proctor sits down with constitutional and international law expert Joshua Kastenberg to delve into the war in Iran \u2014 how it began and how it\u2019s going. Proctor asks the law professor and former Judge Advocate General how war crimes are defined \u2014 and by whom \u2014 and to consider whether he has seen any evidence of Trump or the U.S. military committing them in Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this month, a state District Court judge ordered Republican state Rep. Rebecca Dow to be removed from the ballot following allegations she had filed flawed paperwork in her reelection bid. Earlier this week, the state Supreme Court reversed that decision and reinstated Dow’s candidacy. We hear from Dow just moments after the justices ordered her back on the ballot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In March, UNM named Ryan Berryman to be its next athletics director. Berryman has been connected to Lobo sports since he was a teenager and, at 32, is one of the youngest ADs in Division I sports. The Albuquerque Journal’s Geoff Grammer joins Senior Producer Lou DiVizio to discuss the new department head and consider what Berryman’s tenure could mean for the Lobos on the football field, the basketball court \u2014 and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
