(January 6, 2009) A 31st & Pearl Special Series The Duhon Standard A Look at How the CoB is Governed by Exceptions, not Rules It was only a few short years ago that then-associate professor of management, David Duhon, approached then-MGT & MKT chairman, Alvin Williams, and then-CBED/CoB dean, Harold Doty, to request detailed information on what it would take for Duhon to receive their support for his promotion-to-full application. Duhon had submitted at least one application during the William Gunther administration (1998-2003) that wasn't well-received. His research record was weak, to say the least, and this time Duhon wanted firm guidance.

(January 12, 2009) GH Chatter How do all of the CoB's (permanent) deans compare against one-another? A recent chatter held the following ranking: (1) Ty Black, (2) Lance Nail, (3) Bill Gunther, (4) Joe Greene, and (5) Harold Doty. It's interesting that Nail would already rank second to some. It's no surprise, however, that Harold Doty brings up the rear.

(January 26, 2009) GH Chatter A number of recent USMNEWS.net reports have discussed the fact that Susan Doty, the wife of former CoB dean Harold Doty, was hired as an economics instructor by the CoB during the latter Doty’s reign as dean (2003-07). Some recent chatter now has it that the former dean perhaps regrets having his spouse around JAG Hall so much these days. If so, this is just another interesting twist and turn in the bizarre daily saga that is USM’s b-school.

(January 26, 2009) BREAKING NEWS Can Doty Finally Make It Happen? HATTIESBURG – Information is streaming into USMNEWS.net offices indicating that former CoB dean, and current CoB professor of management, D.

(January 29, 2009) CoB News, 29 January 2009 Integrity Policy Not Boilerplate, Says The Chronicle According to USMNEWS.net sources, Thomas Bartlett’s 29-Jan-09 article in The Chronicle of Higher Education entitled “2 Universities’ Plagiarism Policies Look a Lot Alike” only deteriorates even further the arguments made by the Harold Doty/Farhang Niroomand administration of the CoB (2003-07), that a university’s or college’s academic integrity policy (or, for that matter, AACSB documentation) is simply “boilerplate” and open for use by any and all, even “without proper citation.” In his article (shown below), Bartlett describes how officials at Southern Illinois University adopted in 2007 a 139-word plagiarism definition that is nearly identical the definition adopted by Indiana University just two years earlier.
