KIMBERLY GOODWIN, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FINANCE
(January 30, 2008) Breaking News Goodwin Sets New Record HATTIESBURG – Sources tell USMNEWS.NET
reporters that the new hire in finance, Kimberly Goodwin, was issued a starting salary that eclipses the starting
salary of any new PhD-hire in the CoB's history, and, most likely, also eclipses the starting offer of any new,
non-administrative hire in the college's history. According to the data, sources say Goodwin's offer exceeds the
current salaries of finance assistant professors Farooq Malik and Matthew Hood by about 20 percent and 13 percent,
respectively. Not only that, Goodwin's offer exceeds John Clark's current salary by about 3 percent, and Clark is an
associate professor of finance in the CoB's EFIB.
(February 11, 2009) EFIB Bites Fractured Real Estate The CoB's real estate program, which currently resides in the
EFIB, is slated to become (beginning 2009-10) part of FINRELS under dean Lance Nail's IHL-approved
reorganization of the CoB. Under current EFIB chairman George Carter's stewardship, sources say that the RE
program has been largely devastated. A number of events have transpired that have been detrimental to the
program: (1) the loss of assistant professor Sean Salter, (2) the separation of business law from the EFIB, (3) the
fracturing of RE instruction, and (4) the failure to foster inter-departmental relationships that could benefit the RE
initiative.
