(March 29, 2007) “Whose Line is it Anyway?”usmnews.net Responds to the Cries for “Good News” Some readers of usmnews.net, concerned about USM’s College of Business, have contacted us and asked about the dissemination of “good news” about the CoB. We must admit that we oftentimes wonder why there seems to be so little “good news” about the CoB.

(April 29, 2007) Are CoB Students Getting Their Money's Worth? by Duane Cobb The question in the title above struck me as an important one after putting some thought into the recent probationary report from the AACSB, the CoB's accrediting agency. A number of reports available here at usmnews.net have built a case for an answer of "no."

(May 15, 2007) Who is Running the CoB? Ty Black “resigned” in 1997. Rod Posey was Interim Dean from 1997 to 1998. Bill Gunther was hired in 1998 and was fired in January 2003. Harold Doty was hired in June 2003 and “resigned” in April 2007. Alvin Williams became Interim Dean in April 2007 and vows to leave that office by July 2008.

(May 17, 2007) Special Report If Gunther Gets to be a Full, Why Can’t Green? An Investigative Series on CoB Faculty Research Credentials Reporters at usmnews.net have compiled a table that begs an interesting question: If William Gunther gets to be a full professor of economics, why can’t Trellis Green? That table – Table 1 below – presents the refereed journal articles produced by Gunther and Green over their respective careers. As the bottom of the table indicates, Gunther began at USM in 1998 (as CBA Dean), though he earned his Ph.D. many years earlier in 1969. Gunther was hired by USM as a professor of economics in 1998. Green began a little earlier, in 1983, earning his Ph.D. the following year (1984). Green was promoted to associate professor of economics in 1998.
