(February 15, 2007) Nostalgia Series: George Dr. George Carter, Chairman of the EFIB Department, and former
Chairman of Economics until he “resigned” after the Trellis Green lawsuit. Please see board posts on this topic. Bully in
the name of “the rules”, rule breaker in the name of “following orders”, order follower extraordinaire until an “ethical”
problem is detected, “ethical guru” utilizing only his unique “code of ethics”, user of that “code” until it produces a
sub-optimal result for him, and always a team player even when committing “transgressions”.

Stories are coming out of the EFIB indicating that EFIB Chair George Carter may have sabotaged CoB Dean Harold
Doty's attempt to fill the Director vacancy in the CoB's new Center for Economics Education. Sources tell usmpride.com
News that Carter directed the search committee's top candidate to examine the documents about Doty that are available
at usmpride.com. Additionally, our reporters are also told that Carter directed some of the EFIB faculty to avoid giving
the top candidate any hard sell on the CEE and/or the CoB during that candidate's visit to campus.
(March 2, 2007) Always at the Scene What did George Carter Know about Laurie Babin's work on the Academic Integrity
Policy, and when did he Know it? Investigators at USMPRIDE.COM have obtained an interesting document that
sheds new light on the CoB's "copy" of the Whitman School of Management's (Syracuse University) Academic Integrity
Policy. A number of reports have been posted to this website in recent days showing that the CoB's Academic Integrity
Policy was copied, the better part of word-for-word, from a document available on Syracuse University's website. CoB
Dean Harold Doty, who initiated CBED efforts to create an academic honor code, was employed as a Chair in Syracuse's
Whitman School of Management prior to coming to USM in the summer of 2003.
(March 6, 2007) “Without Proper Citation” A Report on the Doty Administration’s Actions in the Days after the AACSB
Plagiarism Allegations Although a number of scandals over the past several months have shaken the foundation of
Harold Doty’s administration of USM’s College of Business, none have provided as much intrigue as the scandal
regarding the allegations that the CoB copied, “without proper citation,” AACSB definitions (for “participating and
supporting faculty”) from another institution. After breaking the story in November of 2006, USMNEWS.NET has
obtained a batch of official documents that show what appears to be an attempted cover-up, one that fails to heed the
ageless political advice that the cover-up is often worse than the incident in question. However, in this case both the
alleged incident and the apparent cover-up are particularly egregious. This report recounts, using official documents,
the details of both.
