(November 19, 2007) CoB News, 19 November 2007 Ms. Doty Teaches Purvis Demetrica Smith's 19-Nov-07 article in The

stood out like a sore thumb amongst a group of business school administrators by asking what are being described as near
incoherent and irrelevant questions. Stories are also circulating that Doty has been contacting the editorial offices of economics
(academic) journals, requesting to be put on their lists of potential referees. If so . . . what a complete disaster!

to Louisiana Tech University and University of Louisiana – Monroe, respectively, bring this subject back to the forefront. This
report examines what remains of the CoB’s spousal duos with these two sets of departures.
