DEVELOPING STORY HATTIESBURG --- In light of the recent story at usmnews.net entitled “Nissan at Large . . .,” reporters at usmnews.net Reporter have re-examined EFIB assistant professor Sami Dakhlia’s October 2006 teaching trip to France.

(May 5, 2007) CoB Civility 101 by Duane Cobb Now, about 25 days into the Alvin Williams regime in the CoB, we learn just what Williams' plan for "getting civility back into Joe Greene Hall" was all about.

(May 5, 2007) 31st & Pearl What is it with the CoB's Economists and Prepared Statements? The 2006-07 academic year went out like the lion it rode in on. What began with an ill-advised, unannounced prepared statement read by EFIB Chairman George Carter ended with an ill-advised, unannounced prepared statement read by assistant professor of economics Sami Dakhlia. Of course, Carter's statement back in September of 2006 overturned a legitimate faculty governance choice in the EFIB, and became a major contributor in what has to be the lowest point in the history of the CoB. Dakhlia's so-called resolution of May 2007 proved that it's always possible for things to sink even further in the CoB.

A recent report at usmnews.net revealed that Sami Dakhlia, author/presenter of last Friday’s attack on usmnews.net editor Marc DePree, has been pursuing a strategy to obtain tenure without having to follow the usual path.

(May 17, 2007) “Disturbance” The State of USM’s College of Business, May-07 It’s no secret to readers of USMNEWS.NET that USM’s College of Business is an organization that unraveling more and more with each passing day. The best example of how far the CoB has sunk in the academic world is the fact that the USM Police Department had to be called to “break up” the CoB’s end-of-year faculty meeting on 4-May-07, a meeting that was presided over by new Interim Dean Alvin Williams and whose program concluded with an unannounced proclamation/statement against www.usmnews.net that was read to the assembled group by newly-hired assistant professor of economics Sami Dakhlia.
