(October 5, 2007) GH Chatter, The Jim Henderson chatter from our last installment gets even more interesting. Some faculty are saying that Henderson boasted, at the 4-May-07 CoB faculty meeting, about having "bombed" more undergraduate students than any other faculty present in the meeting room (JGH 303). What is it with some faculty accounting faculty wanting to see students do bad?
(April 13, 2008) More Summer Teaching Shenanigans in EFIB George Carter's Preferential Teaching Schedules are Becoming an Annual Affair Summer teaching schedule shenanigans are not new to George Carter's EFIB. In The CoB's 2006 Summer Teaching Deals Explained, USMNEWS.NET reporters explain how Carter, the chair of EFIB, gave preferential summer teaching salaries in the summer of 2006 to economists Edward Nissan and Charles Sawyer (now with TCU), while Trellis Green and Ernest King, also EFIB faculty, were denied those same salary deals.
(April 24, 2008) USM's College of Business: A Certified Retirement Community A number of reports here at USMNEWS.NET have focused on various forms of service dereliction by CoB administrators and the faculty they protect. A good example of the former is EFIB Chair George Carter's Council of Chairs dereliction, while an example of the latter is economics professor William Gunther's Faculty Senate dereliction.This report takes a fresh look at the types of service dereliction covered in past reports by examining CoB faculty attendance at recent Academic Council and Graduate Council meetings.
(August 19, 2008) Making a Move An Update to the 2009 Louis K. Brandt Predictions When we last visited our predictions for the CoB’s 2009 Louis K. Brandt Research Award, MIS stalwart, Fujun Lai, stood solidly at the top. Though that remains true even today, Lai’s hold on the top position is a bit more tenuous heading into fall 2008, the stretch run. A recent Internet search has revealed that CoB economist, Trellis Green, has not one recent A-level publication, as reported earlier, but two.

(March 22, 2009) Our Most Talented Colleagues Unique A-Level Hits of Current & Former CoB Faculty – Economics In May of 2007, untenured assistant professor of economics Sami Dakhlia, a first-year CoB faculty who, to use EFIB chairman George Carter's term, had just been "canned" by the University of Alabama, took the floor at the end of the CoB's spring 2007 convocation. He then proceeded to blast the USMNEWS.net editor and various CoB faculty for speaking out against the CoB's administration in a way Dakhlia felt encouraged his (Dakhlia's) most talented colleagues to leave USM. Of course, Dakhlia wasn't speaking out in support of those CoB faculty who had been abused by CoB administrators, as management professor Sharon Topping had spoken for only minutes before Dakhlia was handed the rostrum by then-interim CoB dean Alvin Williams. The faculty Topping referred to were beginning to leave the CoB as well by spring of 2007. Dakhlia, however, was, according to sources, speaking on behalf of CoBers (and Dakhlia's friends) like Zaher Hallab (tourism management) and Akbar Marvasti (economics), CoB administrators' favorites who were either leaving the CoB at that time or expressing a desire to do so.
