(August 13, 2007) Breaking News Was Carter’s Clinical Teaching Professorship Program Nixed? HATTIESBURG – Within hours
after USMNEWS.NET reports showed that EFIB Chair George Carter was “ramping up” his clinical teaching professorship
program – an informal program used by Carter to supplement salaries of some of his EFIB faculty favorites – it appears that USM

(August 31, 2007) Breaking News EFIB Governance, 2006-2008 George Carter Run Amok HATTIESBURG Almost 20 EFIB
faculty participated in the department's 30-Aug-07 faculty governance election, and not a single vote was cast for the 3-person
committee governance option. EFIB Chair George Carter got his slam dunk victory, but that was expected by everyone in the
room. As such, Carter's victory is not news. What is news, however, is Carter's preamble to the EFIB department governance vote.
Sources tell USMNEWS.NET that Carter spent some time explaining to the faculty in attendance the meaning of the phrase
"Corps of Instruction," and how that phrase fits into USM's faculty governance proceedings. As Carter explained to the EFIB,
faculty with the "visiting" title are not part of the EFIB's "Corps of Instruction," and are not allowed to participate in the
governance vote.
