UNM Library Dean Placed on Leave Amid Controversy

After the September 11 terror attacks, Richard Berthold, a professor at the University of New Mexico made an inflammatory remark in which he stated, \”Anyone who can blow up the Pentagon has my vote.\” It seems, however, that his remark about the attack on the Pentagon isn\’t the only one that\’s gotten him into trouble. It would appear that he\’s made similar and also threatening remarks toward his colleagues well before 9/11. In an unrelated incident last February, Berthold made a statement about the Dean of the Library, in which he said the Library Dean \”should be shot for the way he was running the library system.\” After the Library Dean threatened to go public with information on how the University was handling the situation with Berthold, the Dean was placed on leave. more from The ABQ Tribune.
