(October 8, 2007) CoB Power Line A Look at Who Holds the Reigns of Power in the CoB by Duane Cobb The CoB has devolved into such an academic banana republic of sorts that it is probably useful to take stock, from time to time, of just who holds the most political power there. Without question political power in the CoB waxes and wanes, just as it does in any of the typical unstable, tin pot hot spots around the globe. That's what updates are for.

(November 19, 2008) Special Report “Black Tuesday” Epilogue? An Investigative Series on the Use of the CoB for Personal GainThe following insert was first published by USMNEWS.net as part of CoB News, 29 October 2008. It concerns recent events related to Black Tuesday in the CoB, which is one of the links in the USMNEWS.net Archives.

(October 20, 2010) GH Chatter All of the previous chatter about USM legal counsel Lee Gore’s retirement appears to be on the mark. The recent Student Printz story about the Gore resignation is full of interesting quotes from both Gore and USM president Martha Saunders. This looks like one of those types of stories that will bear fruit even months after the first details emerge.

(September 29, 2011) Gore a Finalist for Legal Counsel at UWF Details arriving at USMNEWS.net offices this week indicate that former USM legal counsel, Lee Gore, is now one of four finalists for the legal counsel opening at the University of West Florida in Pensacola (see below).

(October 13, 2011) Lee Gore "Every professor's first name is 'Plaintiff'" Even though Lee Gore was replaced as university counsel about a year ago, he remained on the university payroll for many months. As with many unwanted faculty, he remained on the payroll while his replacement served as university counsel. Not too surprisingly, Gore began looking to become university counsel somewhere even before his non-salaried non-job came to an end.
