(September 26, 2006) It’s Been More than One Month Dr. Davis CoB Faculty Still Await Tables I, II, and IIa "So, Dr.
Donna gets a course-release to serve as the CoB’s SEDONA Coordinator. As part of that duty, Dr. Davis is expected to
produce a small set of tables containing faculty production “data” (teaching, research, etc. summaries) to go along with
the CoB’s AACSB Reaffirmation efforts, which we hear are going quite well. The only issue seems to be Dr. Davis’
inability to produce electronic copies of these (3) tables for distribution to CoB faculty. The existence of these three
mysterious tables is explained via a 24 August 2006 e-mail to CoB faculty, Jay Grimes, and Joan Exline...".
(August 23, 2006) Deconstructing AACSB Standards: Participants Standard 13 "... Evidence presented at
www.usmpride.com indicates that the CoB’s system of rewards fails to appropriately reward instructors who follow
AACSB Participants Standard 13. Aside from the two issues raised above, Doty has effectively instituted a policy that
using technology in the classroom is equivalent to having kept current in knowledge advancements, a position that

Presidents, or President), then instruction is acceptable...".
(August 15, 2006) Mock SEDONA Testimonials [Disclaimer: The SEDONA testimonials below are not real.] "If
you've read the "Special Report" that takes one on a Virtual Tour of SEDONA, you know by now that there are
"testimonials" from SEDONA subscribers on the company's website. These are provided by College-level
administrators at various schools. What follows below is a series of mock testimonials from our own CoB
administrators that may be worthy of consideration by SEDONA officials...".
(August 15, 2006) 2006 Staff Merit Raises in the CoB "One well known story from the 2005-2006 academic year
revolves around Doty's meeting with CoB staff regarding evaluation processes. According to several current and
former staff members, Doty stated that CoB staffers would have to work nights and weekends and forgo vacation to
receive above average evaluation scores and thus be eligible for raises. While the usmpride research team believes
that this was just one more example of Doty's brain/mouth disconnect, we decided to investigate the 2006 CoB Staff
Merit Raises...".
