(November 1, 2006) Special Report Who Else did the Balancing? An Investigation into Course Scheduling in the CoB "This Special Report examines the 2006-07 teaching schedules in the EFIB. Investigators at usmpride.com thought it would be interesting and instructive to follow the lead set by economics professor Franklin Mixon’s Grievance Appeal (see usmpride.com) by analyzing the variation in the so-called 6 “onerous teaching factors” spelled out in Mixon’s Appeal and original Grievance. The analysis found in Table 1 below follows that in Mixon’s Appeal Exhibit 5...".

(November 7, 2006) Carter’s Thoughts Enlightening "More people than you probably realize find the Carter thoughts invaluable. They give us a window into the mind of CoB administrators like we’ve never had before. I keep thinking about the stories going around about how Doty and Niroomand talk about faculty and staff in the Dean’s suite. They supposedly shout from office to office instead of retreating behind closed doors. Also, the vulgarities that get spewed in that suite are enough to turn the stomachs of the staff that work there everyday and have to put up with it...".
(November 8, 2006) usmpride.com News . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(November 9, 2006) 31st & Pearl The 4/4 Poster Boy "If there ever was a poster boy in the CoB for a 4/4 teaching load, it’s former CBA Dean William Gunther. For starters, Gunther is the only economist in the EFIB who is not academically qualified. EFIB Chair George Carter currently lists Gunther as “Professionally Qualified,” a concept which is, for an academic economist, almost comical ... So, how does the Josephine-based EFIB instructor thank the Mississippi taxpayers (and the CoB’s administration) for their generosity? He simply says (paraphrasing): “If there’s a CoB UPC meeting on a Friday, you won’t find me there. I’m outta here at noon on Thursdays.” You see, Gunther is a busy man - he’s got a CoB Bureau (the BBER) to ignore and a south Alabama beach calling his name".
