WILLIAM GUNTHER, FORMER DEAN, COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
(September 25, 2006) Bureau of Business & Economic Research: The Untold Story An Investigative Series on the Use of the
CoB for Personal Gain "... A previous Special Report indicates that Gunther is possibly doing double-duty (teaching) by
teaching at both USM and the University of West Florida. When Gunther first arrived on the scene in Hattiesburg in the late
1990s as the new CBA Dean, it was no secret then that he continued to teach courses at the University of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa, where he was formerly employed. Now we learn that his current residence is a 6-hour roundtrip drive to/from
work at USM. It’s little wonder that Doty’s new BBER does little in the way of research about the South Mississippi economy.
Not only that, Gunther is not inside South Mississippi economy enough to spend the $120,368 salary (not including benefits)
that Mississippi taxpayers have kindly provided to him." See also, Quotable Doty, part 2 and Quotable Doty, part 3
