(August 18, 2009) Carter Put Bonaparte Back Into Exile A Guest Editorial by Victoria Tyler By now everyone has had
a chance to digest the article about the USM budget cuts appearing recently in Inside Higher Ed entitled Cruel Irony.
CoB economist, George Carter, provided the article's author with a letter that Carter has been circulating around the
USM community and elsewhere that lists what are, in Carter's mind at least, some issues of due process regarding
the USM administration's recent decision to eliminate the economics majors. In that letter Carter tells readers that
CoB assistant professor of economics, Yosef Bonaparte, was terminated by USM during the 2008-09 academic year,
Bonaparte's first year out of grad school (University of Texas) and first year at USM-Gulf Coast.
