(May 19, 2009) GH Chatter So much of the above chatter entry is about FIN. Speaking of FIN (again), chatter has it that the new department of finance, real estate and legal studies (FINRELS) is facing a dire budget situation, thanks largely to some serious mismanagement by soon-to-be-former EFIB chairman, George Carter. It seems that Carter was funding Sami Dakhlia's "EFIB Fridays" seminar series out of general (E & G) funds, not from monies coming from the USM Foundation, as expected. Now, budgets for things like phones are bone dry, and as a result, new FINRELS chairman Francis Laatsch will soon be terminating phone service (and perhaps other essentials) from that quarter. CoBers should thank Carter and Dakhlia when (more like if) they are encountered in the JAG hallways over the coming days.

(June 5, 2009) Carter Thunk It The popular "one year ago today" series here at USMNEWS.net recently reminded us all. Former CoB dean Harold Doty is [deleted]. Management professor David Duhon was undeservedly promoted. The Undergraduate Programs office is the epitome of inefficiency. Management journals are basically schlock. There are no scholars in accounting. The top scholar in economics is Ed Nissan. When faculty "take on" administrators, faculty get "stuffed." It is ill-advised for untenured faculty to leave an institution before getting tenure. USM, as an institution, is rapidly spiraling downward. These, and more, are all thoughts had by EFIB chairman George Carter in either 2006 or 2007.

(June 25, 2009) Carter Still Up to Old Tricks Long-time EFIB chair George Carter may be done with administration given the CoB's recent reorganization, but that didn't stop him from tossing one more uneven course schedule out to his friends and administration sycophants. The snapshot below from the fall 2009 course schedule guide for ECO shows that Akbar Marvasti continues to be a Carter favorite in terms of the scheduling game.

(June 25, 2009) Has Dakhlia Gone Clinical? Long-time EFIB chair George Carter may be done with administration given the CoB's recent reorganization, but that didn't stop him from tossing one more uneven course schedule out to his friends and administration sycophants. The snapshot below from the fall 2009 course schedule guide for ECO shows that Sami Dakhlia may have been put on the same clinical teaching track that has been enjoyed by Carter and Carter favorite Charles Sawyer, who is now with Texas Christian University.

(July 30, 2009) Carter Nailed It Former EFIB chair, and CoB economics professor, George Carter nailed it a while back when he said that the CoB's economists tended to be intemperate, or not collegial, and as a result they had become pariahs in Joseph A. Greene Hall. Fortunately for USMNEWS.net readers, Carter did not know his comments were being saved for posterity (they are now in the USMNEWS.net audio library), otherwise he would not likely have been so candid. He is, after all, as big a part of the ECO cabal as anyone else, so his condemnation applies to him just like it does to some of the other dismal scientists roaming the halls of USM's b-school.
