(February 10, 2008) And then who? Tony Henthorne, current Chair of about half of the CoB, is making it clear to anyone who will listen that he does not want to be Chair of MKT/MGT/FM next year. He received no extra money for this job, he claims, and did it as a favor for Interim Dean Williams (as speculated here previously).

Via e-mail on 19-Feb-08, Interim CoB Dean, Alvin Williams, informed CoB faculty and staff that, with Tony Henthorne’s departure for UNLV, Duhon will assume the roles of Interim Chair of MGT & MKT and Interim Chair of Tourism Management. Williams’ e-mail, sent also to USM Provost Bobby Middlebrooks and USM Human Resources Director Russ Willis, indicates that Duhon will take on these roles during the summer of 2008.
(March 2, 2008) CoB at a Crossroads PART 4 "I Don't Have a Dog in this Fight" The CoB's new Dean will have many obstacles to face on Day 1. One of them will be dealing with the fact that any oversight over the CoB's faculty evaluation process was killed in December of 2006, when CoB management professors, Stephen Bushardt and David Duhon, put a motion on the floor at the CoB's Fall 2006 faculty meeting that eliminated the traditional executive team conference that established each faculty's rating in teaching, research and service. Under the Bushardt-Duhon plan, individual faculty ratings are decided by department heads, without consultation with the other department heads or the Associate Dean.
