(August 23, 2007) Niroomand 4, Doty 0 The recent 31st & Pearl column entitled “300” spelled it out clearly – former CoB Dean Harold Doty does not appear to be getting any post-Dean royal treatment since joining the CoB’s regular-line faculty. As Duane Cobb said after reading that column – “That’s a good thing. He [Doty] doesn’t deserve it.” However, former CoB Associate Dean Farhang Niroomand represents the other half of the “package deal” that was the CoB administrative resignation of 9 April 2007. How has the treatment of Niroomand been since he rejoined the CoB’s regular-line faculty? Or, better yet, how does the treatment of Doty compare to that of Niroomand? Reporters at USMNEWS.NET think readers will be intrigued by some of the results that were found when the “data” were examined. This event takes a look at what former CBA Dean William Gunther has been doing lately to advance the careers of Doty and Niroomand.

(September 12, 2007) EFIB News, 12 September 2007 Is Shi Misplaced? A recent visit to the CoB's new web presence at www.usm.edu revealed some interesting news about visiting assistant professor of finance Weihua Shi. According to Shi's "blurb" on the website (inserted below), she has published an article in the International Business Review. The IBR, which is produced by Elsevier, is a high-quality IB journal,

(September 14, 2007) Oldies Often Goodies A Look Back at Farhang Niroomand's Tenure-Track Timeline USMNEWS.NET recently learned that a CoB old-timer, an old CBA figure you might say, often speaks of how economics professor Farhang Niroomand's tenure track ride was a "do nothing" one until its very late stages. Only then, at the 11th hour, did Niroomand climb over the tenure bar. We like excitement as much as the next person, so we thought it might be interesting to take a look at Niroomand's SEDONA vita to see if this old story holds up to scrutiny.
