(November 21, 2006) CoBscam? A Look at Associate Dean Niroomand’s Journal of Current Research in Global Business Operation Researchers at USMPRIDE.COM have obtained financial records on CoB Associate Dean Farhang Niroomand’s Journal of Current Research in Global Business operation.

In doing so, the issue of the CoB’s sponsorship of the JCRGB, a journal of dubious quality, has arisen.

(January 17, 2007) As Transgressions Go By Chairman (DCP) Carter is not one to learn much from the past, including autogenous mistakes; one might think given the nature of recent mistakes – transgressions – including a semi-public apology for one, he might be somewhat more careful. One conclusion is DCP lives his life sprinting from one visceral reaction to another. React, do not think.
