(May 5, 2008) CoB News, 6 May 2008 The Company Man vs. The Good Ol' Boy With the release of the 2008 Google Scholar cites report, we saw that old rivals George Carter (EFIB Chair and professor of economics) and David Duhon (professor of management) are now 3 spots closer to one-another from where they were in 2007.

(May 19, 2008) Breaking News Witness Rolls Over on Possible Carter Plot to Sack Klinedinst HATTIESBURG -- Reporters at USMNEWS.NET have just obtained a testimonial from a witness indicating that current EFIB Chair, George Carter, may have initiated a 2004-05 plot to sack then-EFIB chair Mark Klinedinst. According to the testimonial, Carter made a presentation at an ad hoc 2004 meeting, one that included the business College's top brass, that purported to show that he (Carter) was the most effective chair the EFIB (or EIB, etc.) has ever had.

(May 22, 2008) Special Report Classic CoB Mismanagement Why Carter's "Literature Presence" is Bad, Yet Once Allowed, How it Could've Been Beneficial As far back as the summer of 2006 USMNEWS.NET (formerly USMPRIDE.COM) has been reporting on George Carter's nebulous "literature presence" faculty evaluation metric. As it goes, Carter rates his EFIB faculty, in part, on the basis of literature presence, or their ability to maintain a "presence" in the literature comprising their respective disciplines. In Carter's EFIB, this includes economics, finance, international business and real estate. However, as reports and editorials here at USMNEWS.NET have demonstrated, Carter is in no position to judge the literature presence of the EFIB he governs. His own record is too weak, and too highly dependent (co-dependent) on the assistance of economics professor Edward Nissan to make the kinds of assessments one would supposedly make using a literature presence standard.

(May 26, 2008) Perks for Buds This new series will highlight undeserved benefits given to CoB faculty members by administrators in the College. Needless to say, given the many things disclosed on this site, this series could run a very long time.
The new proposed MBA program changes the MBA 600 course again. For the time being we will omit a discussion of why the Graduate Programs Committee seemed so determined to change the MBA program a short time ahead of the College getting a new dean. The obvious answer is not progress, but the usual shenanigans of trying to get something in place that cannot be immediately changed by a new dean. MBA 600 was known as the “ethics course” in the MBA program for years. When originally implemented, Dr. Don Robin, an ethics scholar, taught the course. It was usually not the students favorite course (for many reasons), but they were exposed to a lot of material and probably learned from the course. When Dr. Robin retired and departed for Wake Forest University, George Carter was put into the course.
