(March 22, 2010) University of Southern Mississippi -- A Tribal Moral Community, part 7 Cannon was comfortable with a deceptive and glib representation in a document that put the career of a tenured professor at jeopardy, i.e., “I feel Dr. DePree has been provided with sufficient university resources,” when he meant DePree has been provided with “an office and a desk”. His formal report represents no university retaliation against DePree in punishment for his speech, when what Cannon hid was retaliation against DePree. Cannon was also trashing academic freedom, truth, and other principles touted in USM’s Faculty Handbook and other documents

(March 24, 2010) University of Southern Mississippi -- A Tribal Moral Community, part 8 Note that Cannon does not associate “cause” with any principle of independent evidence or sound reasoning that he supposedly follows as a practicing scientist. As USM ombudsman doing the biding of President Saunders, he’s a good tribal member and will do whatever is necessary to promote the sacredness of USM including inanity like verifying the allegations were made against Professor DePree, not that the allegations were supported with any evidence much less sufficient evidence to support the allegations. Dr. Cannon didn’t care whether there was any “substantiation”. The allegations, and confirmation that the allegations were made, were enough for him.

(April 4, 2010) University of Southern Mississippi -- A Tribal Moral Community, part 9 Cannon had in his possession independent documentation that provided sufficient independent evidence that Doty and William’s claims were false. Gordon Cannon was compliant in Doty and Williams fabricating misconduct in efforts to fire DePree. Cannon willingly advanced the corrupt behavior of Doty and Williams allowing them to hide their own misconduct.

(April 24, 2010) University of Southern Mississippi -- A Tribal Moral Community, part 10 The accusation that DePree was neither AQ nor PQ and jeopardized accreditation was cause to fire DePree according to Doty, Williams, and Saunders. That the accusations were false and Cannon had in his possession independent documentation that provided sufficient evidence that the claims were false did not “trouble [Cannon] too much.”
