(June 17, 2009) Dakhlia's Trip – Three Years Later The recent one year ago today installment about associate professor of economics Sami Dakhlia's week long teaching trip to France reminds us all how things used to be during the Harold Doty-Farhang Niroomand administration (2003-07) of USM's b-school. Though we can always be surprised, it is highly doubtful that current dean Lance Nail and BEDS chair Donna Davis would support teaching junkets that represent double-dipping for Sami Dakhlia or any other CoBer.

(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.
