(November 16, 2006) 31st & Pearl, part 41, System Failure "Now we have it. A CoB administrator, in his own words, condemns the CoB’s annual evaluation system. You see stuff that’s not appropriate . . . there’s a certain injustice to it . . . it leaves little differentiation, if any. We now know what we always knew - the system is a failure. This spring, when Doty stands before the faculty and talks about how much integrity there is in the system, Professor Lindley won’t have to say a word. Everyone will look at each other, and know."

(November 21, 2006) 31st & Pearl, part 42 Bludgeoned "The whole concept of tenure serving as a club over someone’s head, to use EFIB Chair George Carter’s description, is nothing new among Tier IV colleges and universities. That stated, the CoB’s case is interesting, given recent events. Former Management/ Marketing Chair Alvin Williams, current Management and Marketing Chair Barry Babin, and CoB Dean Harold Doty seem to be writing all sorts of new procedures and rules to get management and marketing faculty tenured and promoted. From 4th year reviews to so-called “letters of agreement,” if anything is being held over the heads of faculty in this department it’s little more than a feather. The EFIB is another case. Carter’s club was recently used to put an untenured finance professor into an 'awkward situation professionally,'...".

I did give two people, Ed and Charles, course releases for the summer. Ed gets one because he’s my research buddy. He and I pump out a lot of stuff together, and we brag about it to others when we go to conventions. Charles is helping me write Larry’s terminal letter, as well assisting me with other administrative duties for the EFIB. You’re neither of these scholars. In fact, quite the opposite - you’re too much like Tom. ...".

(December 8, 2006) George Carter on Information and Happiness Revisiting the Carter-King E-mail Exchange Regarding Summer 2006 Teaching Loads in EFIB "Investigators at USMPRIDE.COM have put together more of the e-mail exchange between EFIB Chair George Carter and associate professor of finance Ernest King about Carter’s use of selective course reductions in summer 2006 teaching loads. We have received word that one USMPRIDE.COM reader remarked, after reading the first report on this matter that was posted to this website, that Carter sounds more like a cult leader than an academic department chair. That may be as good a way of putting as any. This report offers more Carterology, though perhaps of a different sort...".
