(September 21, 2006) George Carter's "Prepared Statement" to EFIB, 9/19/2006 "The 45 Minutes document showed us that certain individuals are writing about public faculty information in an uncomplimentary, derisive, and hurtful manner.

(September 22, 2006) Carter's Coup: 2½ Days in the Making? "Recent reports at USMPRIDE have described the events in the CoB's EFIB department on Tuesday, September 19, 2006. As has been suggested, EFIB Chair George Carter resigned from the elected 3-person governance committee in a way that circumvented the department's right to an Option 2 governance structure.
