ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A University of New Mexico director is resigning to protest what she calls a lack of sanctions against a colleague who appeared with at least one student in simulated sex scenes on the Internet.
Professor Sharon Warner, UNM's creative writing director, said she first brought the pictures and the Web site where she found them to the attention of administrators in July. The photos showed creative writing professor Lisa Chavez in domination poses.
Warner said UNM is giving Chavez a free pass.
"We have tried to go through the process, the academic process of requesting an ethics committee investigation," Warner told KRQE News 13. "There should probably be some sort of sanctioning.
"I felt like I had to do something to say that this is not OK."
Warner said she is resigning as director but is still staying with UNM as a professor.
UNM deputy provost Richard Holder said even though Chavez may have exercised poor judgment, it does not mean she's unfit for her job at UNM.
"I think UNM did handle it properly," Holder said in a statement released to KRQE News 13. "Many, many hours with many, many people have been spent on this issue," Holder said.
The pictures range from relatively tame to very graphic. Most can't be shown on television.
In them Chavez assumes the role of a dominatrix, the woman in control of what is usually a sadomasochistic sexual relationship.
News 13 first reported on the controversial photos three months ago and interviewed a woman who appeared in some of the photos. She said she had earlier been a student of Chavez's and that she saw nothing wrong with the photos.
"Everything we photograph is staged," the woman who asked that her name be withheld said. "What I think is really happening is the viewer is imagining much more."
Warner said she is not willing to let the matter drop and may even take her complaint to the governor. She is among more than a dozen faculty members now appealing the case against Chavez to UNM's interim provost.
"We think a message has to be sent out not only to her but to other faculty members, because if this is not unethical, what is unethical?" Warner said.
Chavez is now on sabbatical. News 13 was unable to reach her on Wednesday for comment.

M-Kay.
This thread needs pix.
Is the other gal 18? No longer a student? Than busybody needs to butt out.
Hmm...somebody needs a spanking. So to speak.
We actively recruit the lunatic fringe of academia. We breed the lunatic fringe of politics.
There is too little of this thinking occurring these days.
I knew before I even read the article that the pictures were lesbian. That alone explains why Bill Richardson's state of New Mexico will never take any action against the porn prof.

I found one — it’s small, and a little off color. Should I post it?
