(April 3, 2007) What’s Wrong with the Learning Process in Stats? Claims by members of the AACSB Team (e.g., George Carter) that the CoB’s undergraduates are deficient in statistics knowledge have been the subject of other reports posted to USMPRIDE.COM in the past.

(April 4, 2007) Special Report How Many Weeks Will Ed Nissan Get for Spring Break 2007? An Investigative Series on the Use of the CoB's Budget Sources tell usmnews.net that a war of words is currently waging in the EFIB over preferential course scheduling in that department. Course scheduling in the CoB has been a subject of numerous reports here at usmnews.net -- and a popular subject at that -- so our reporters decided to revisit scheduling in the EFIB.

(April 11, 2007) Nissan At Large What the Behavior of Some CoB Faculty is Costing MS Taxpayers The recent report at usmnews.net spotlighting economics professor Edward Nissan's recent 3-week spring break (for a look at the report, see http://www.usmnews.net/Special%20Report%20124.pdf) in March of 2007 met with much interest from usmnews.net readers. Sources tell usmnews.net that Nissan is one of the most active CoB faculty when it comes to being away from his USM teaching responsibilities, which are not taxing (see http://www.usmpride.com/Special_Report_13[1].pdf).

(April 24, 2007) On Nissan's Back Another week, another faculty is leaving the EFIB. This one comes in the form of Stephen Haggard, assistant professor of finance, who is departing for Missouri State University. With every departure that goes by, more and more of the maintenance of the EFIB's research reputation falls in the hands of George Carter, Farhang Niroomand, and Edward Nissan. Of course, given the workload assignments associated with co-authorships among this group-of-three, more and more of that maintenance will fall on Nissan's back.

(April 30, 2007) Special Report Across the Pond, Yet Again An Investigative Series on the Use of the CoB for Personal Gain Sometimes it's hard to imagine that there is a better chance of running across economics professor Edward Nissan inside of Joseph Greene Hall than there is of finding him somewhere in England. Investigators at usmnews.net have once again found evidence that Nissan may have missed classes while across "the Pond" in England. The screen below provides preliminary details about a conference programme entitled "Structural Reform and the Transformation of Organisations and Businesses," held at Homerton College in Cambridge, from 3-Sept through 6-Sept of 2003.

(August 5, 2007) The Case For the Dakhlia–Marvasti 2007 Merit Raise Gets Worse A USMNEWS.NET reader recently contacted our reporters about one of the analyses in our report “Did Dakhlia & Marvasti Hit the Powerball?” and offered a very useful suggestion. For readers who are not familiar with this report, it can be found at Did Dakhlia & Marvasti Hit the Powerball?.
