D. HAROLD DOTY, FORMER DEAN, COLLEGE OF
BUSINESS, CURRENT DEAN, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT
TYLER
(February 12, 2009) What did Doty & Becker do to TM? More on How the CoB’s TM Program was Devastated under
Harold Doty Like in the waning days of a petty dictatorship, former CoB dean Harold Doty’s final days atop USM’s
College of Business were spent oddly – in this case sending e-mails to USM’s central administration about “mental
health concerns” and “racism.” The Doty-Farhang Niroomand administration of the CoB was spiraling out of control by
the spring of 2007, and then-USM provost Jay Grimes recognized it. Just 41 days prior to Doty’s eventual “resignation,”
Grimes wrote to Doty demanding that Doty stand before the USM Executive Cabinet and account for the demise of
various pieces of USM’s b-school.
(March 11, 2009) GH Chatter Apparently there is renewed interest in Harold Doty's prospects as dean. Chatter has it
that Doty is in the running for the dean's opening at the University of Texas at Tyler.
(March 23, 2009) Dear UT Tyler, The word on the academic street has it that Dr. Doty is currently in Tyler interviewing
for a job as your new dean. After many unsuccessful job interviews over the past several years, will he find a new
administrative home? Only you know the answer to that question.
(March 24, 2009) The CoBaT Cave What a Doty Deanship might mean for UT-Tyler The thought of Harold Doty visiting
the College of Business & Technology at the University of Texas – Tyler, as he is doing now to interview for the top
administrative position there, conjures up all sorts of disturbing images. His leadership style, "all Doty, all the time,"
gets diluted (at least somewhat) in relatively large environments, like that of the 65ish-business faculty environs of
Joseph Greene Hall (in USM's CoB). In a small environment, like that in UT-T's CoBaT, who knows what things might
be like after a year or two under Harold Doty.
(March 25, 2009) GH Chatter Word has reached usmnews.net’s offices that Harold Doty may have tossed his hat in the
ring for a shot at the Dean’s job at the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, Nova
Southeastern University. Usmnews.net’s reporters will be watching this one closely.
