(February 18, 2009) The Dotys are Vulnerable . . . . . . . Maybe How Kicking ECO 336 to the Curb may Impact Some CoB Faculty Members Now that the CoB has voted to eliminate the ECO 336 (international economics) requirement in the core curriculum, more than just former CoB economist Charles Sawyer's textbook income will likely be impacted.

(May 13, 2009) Five CoB Faculty Awarded Tenure for 2009-10 JACKSON – At the May-09 IHL Board meeting, set to occur tomorrow (13-May) and Thursday (14-May), five CoB faculty will be awarded tenure, which will begin in the 2009-10 academic year. These individuals are John Clark (FIN), Fujun Lai (DS), Farooq Malik (FIN), Lance Nail (FIN), and Michael Wittmann (MKT).
(May 19, 2009) GH Chatter The 2008-09 tenure class was certainly a motley bunch. About the only one not surrounded by controversy is Fujun Lai of decision sciences. Chatter has it that John Clark's (FIN) tenure faced some behind-the-scenes opposition from the first floor (of JAG) of all places. Clark is known for maintaining a "relaxed" work schedule, to put it mildly. His relatively new FIN colleague, the newly tenured Farooq Malik, has also developed the reputation of coming in to teach and then leaving (the JAG). Chatter has it that Malik is as much "the ghost" as anyone else in the CoB. As for the remaining non-administrative member of the 2008-09 tenure class, some are surprised to see that Michael Wittmann is teaching a full load this summer. Chatter has it that those who hold distinguished professorships, like Wittmann, should instead be engaged in research during the summers.
(May 28, 2009) Promotions to h4 It's nearly impossible to have studied the CoB of the last few years and not have noticed how administrators there have perfected use of the "early promotion" to guarantee tenure later.
(July 31, 2009) 31st & Pearl Beer Summit CoB The recent USMNEWS.net editorial entitled Carter Nailed It really showed the irony in George Carter's behavior, mostly as a CoB administrator (EFIB chairman), over the past several years. Carter worked overtime to derail CoB dean Lance Nail's efforts to move the CoB forward. Before that it was all about supporting former CoB dean Harold Doty's ill-advised agenda, which meant pitting faculty against one-another in a way that divided the CoB so that Doty could maneuver his program through. CoBer Farooq Malik was a part of Carter's designs then, and he was later rewarded by Carter with a move to FIN from ECO – one that garnered Malik a $20,000 raise with one stroke of the pen.
