D. HAROLD DOTY, FORMER DEAN, COLLEGE OF
BUSINESS, CURRENT DEAN, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT
TYLER
(March 4, 2007) “I know what you are up to” By the way, I forgot to include one other item from the silly dialogue
(see below) Dean Doty and I had yesterday afternoon. I’d like to make that correction for the record. He saw me
and charged down the hall. The first words out of his mouth: “I know what you are up to.” Well, now, who doesn’t
know what I’m up to? I publish a newsblog, and sign my name to accompany my words on a multitude of issues.
I carbon copy every potentially interested party up and down the chain of command. Would anybody be
surprised to know where I stand on issues of administrative ultra-secrecy, faculty and administrator plagiarism,
squandering of taxpayers’ resources, hiding Foundation finances, misrepresenting the facts to get a buddy a pay
raise he couldn’t earn on the basis of merit, etc, etc. So, here comes our Dean with another of his less than
profound revelations. “I know what you’re up to.”
(March 6, 2007) What happens to faculty who are desperate to become administrators?, part 2 What happens to
faculty who are desperate to become administrators?, part 2 “In an email dated February 28, 2006, Dr. Stan Lewis
wrote, “[T]hey [Doty and Posey] truly cannot grasp the concept of fair and even treatment of all others. But Rod
has always been given special treatment.”
(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.
(March 2, 2007) A Plagiarized Policy on Plagiarism? by Duane Cobb The recent revelation that the CoB's
Academic Integrity Policy was copied, the better part of word-for-word, from Syracuse University's Whitman
School of Management is barely a surprise to many in the CoB. Since the beginning of 2006-07, USM's College of
Business has been in a state of turmoil resulting from a number of ethics-challenged decisions made by the CoB's
administration. Now, the recent prediction on this website -- that we may be on the eve of a national AACSB
scandal -- appears to be coming to fruition
