ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A lawsuit over the punishment that a University of New Mexico professor faced for an inappropriate relationship with a student will no longer move forward in federal court. Nick Flor, an associate professor for UNM's Anderson School of Management, was suspended for one year without pay after admitting to a relationship with a graduate student in 2018.
