University of New Mexico eyes seal amid racial concerns
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico's largest university is considering revising its half-century old seal amid concerns by Native American students who say it represents the frontier's violent era.
Unlike other moves to change logos and names of buildings, the effort to drop the seal is drawing resistance from another minority groups — Hispanics.
The debate is pitting some community members against each other as university officials try to recruit more Latino and Native American students to attend the campus.
