(January 15, 2010) 31st & Pearl Dean Doty = Dr. Chaos Anyone familiar with the D. Harold Doty administration of USM’s b-school from 2003-07 probably believes that his presence as dean at the University of Texas at Tyler is creating a little chaos (probably more) at that school. Now knowing, as we do, that former CoB management professor Stephen Bushardt is headed to UTT to be Doty’s righthand means that Doty is about to unleash much more than a little chaos on his newest subjects.

(January 26, 2010) GH Chatter The news of former CoBer Stephen Bushardt's upcoming move to the University of Texas at Tyler, where he will serve dean Harold Doty as management chair, continues to cause a stir. That Bushardt's wife recently filed a restraining order against him is also generating a lot of chatter. When these two former USM b-schoolers get together an exciting new chapter in CoB history promises to begin.

(April 12, 2010) GH Chatter The word that former CoB dean Harold Doty, currently the dean of business at the University of Texas at Tyler, may be looking for a job at Central Michigan University or somewhere else has a number of people amused. Long-time readers of USMNEWS.net will recall that Doty was on the job trail shortly after arriving in Hattiesburg in July-03. In fact, the video of Doty on the front page of the website was made during a Sept-05 interview with the University of South Florida. Needless to say, Doty bombed that visit (“. . . the fun money is . . .”), as he did others between 2003 and now. Some CoBers are now wondering if another former CoB management professor, Stephen Bushardt, is being kept abreast by Doty about these recent job searches. Bushardt, currently a management professor at Spring Hill College, is headed to chair Doty’s management unit at UTT after the 2009-10 academic year. The 2009-10 academic year has been a tumultuous one for Bushardt, who had a restraining order (claiming spousal abuse) placed on him by his wife, a Hattiesburg-based physician.

(May 25, 2010) GH Chatter More evidence that former CoB management professor Stephen Bushardt is headed west to join former CoB dean Harold Doty at the University of Texas at Tyler – word is that Bushardt does not appear on the 2010-11 course schedules at Spring Hill College. It is mind boggling to many that Doty would move so early in his UT-T deanship to hire someone like Bushardt. To add to all that is known about Bushardt’s tenure at USM, in 2009-10 we learned that his wife filed a restraining order against him as part of their ongoing divorce proceedings. It seems she fears for her safety, and that of their children.

(June 14, 2010) GH Chatter The pending arrival at the University of Texas at Tyler’s b-school of former CoBer Stephen Bushardt is back on the radar. Why current UT-Tyler b-school dean Harold Doty, the former CoB dean, would hire Bushardt is boggling minds.
