DANIEL MICHAEL, FORMER ASSISTANT
PROFESSOR OF MANAGEMENT
(March 29, 2007) usmnews.net Reporter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DEVELOPING STORY LONG BEACH --- Staff at
usmnews.net Reporter have learned that the faculty grievance that was filed a few short weeks ago – a story
broken by usmnews.net at that time – was filed by assistant professor of management Daniel Michael.
Michael, a member of the USMGC campus’ business faculty, filed that grievance after receiving a negative
decision on his 3rd Year Tenure Review application, which was submitted this
academic year (i.e., 2006-2007). Sources tell usmnnews.net Reporter that Michael’s grievance process has not
been without its share of controversy. Information submitted to our offices indicates that, in the presence of a
number of CoB faculty members, CoB Dean Harold Doty made disparaging and prejudicial comments about
Michael’s vitae and the merits of Michael’s grievance packet.
(October 27, 2007) Out-Published and Ousted A Look at the Departure of Daniel Michael UPDATED,
10/27/2007 In one of our earlier reports about the "canning" of assistant professor of management, Daniel
Michael, our reporters indicated that another faculty member might be making a fall 2007 announcement of
an intention to depart the CoB after the 2007-08 academic year. Sources now tell USMNEWS.NET that this
individual has turned down an offer to move on after 2007-08, though other offers might arise between now
and then. This represents a bit of good news for USM's CoB because the faculty member in question would
rank third in Table 1 below, having more than 11 journal publications but fewer than 33. Having another
12-32 articles depart the CoB would have only added to the disastrous situation facing the CoB's AACSB
re-accreditation prospects.
