“In New Mexico, over half of students face food insecurity. When a whistleblower at [the Institute of American Indian Arts] uncovered evidence that school officials might have misused a $50,000 grant meant to support campus food pantries, [David John Baer] McNicholas thought it was clearly newsworthy. When students claimed school officials retaliated against the whistleblower who raised the alarm, he published their allegations. … instead of being celebrated for such journalistic work, David McNicholas was fired. Put on probation. Evicted. Homeless.” (08/14/25)
