(January 23, 2008) Special Report "Ad Hoc Jackson" An Investigative Series on CoB Faculty Research Credentials SAIS Director Steven Jackson's latest foray into top-down governance has resulted in new sets of research standards for the CoB's accounting faculty. In a directive Jackson refers to as "Internal Policy on Expectations for Faculty Evaluation of Research in the Accounting Unit of the SOAIS," Jackson radically alters, from the CoB's general standards, the requirements for the CoB's accountants to be viewed as successful when it comes to the evaluation of scholarly activity.

(March 17, 2008) Special Report "Drop the Zero, and Get With the Hero" An Investigative Series on CoB Faculty Credentials Management professor Stephen Bushardt will soon be departing for Spring Hill College. There, he will share his knowledge of the "Heroes and Storytellers" program, which can be found at www.timbersnursery.com, with the Jesuit institution's faculty. Whether or not Bushardt's program is well received at SHC, the fact remains that it has shaped the College of Business at USM for more than a decade.

With about 2.5 months to go before USMNEWS.NET’s annual update to the CoB’s Google Scholar citations totals, reporters thought it might be interesting to take a peek at what may be behind the curtain. As with other analyses, this one focuses on just a single unit – ECO. This unit is chosen here, as in previous analyses, because it has been held up by past CoB administrators (e.g., Farhang Niroomand, George Carter, etc.) as the unit to be admired by all CoB faculty.

(April 2, 2008) No Group Does It Like Accounting A Look Back at Accounting’s Response to 6th Year Review for AACSB As a result of access to documents obtained through the Mississippi Open Records Act, reporters at USMNEWS.NET are able to provide readers with a glimpse into the CoB’s recent efforts to successfully navigate the AACSB’s 6th Year Review process – a process hoist upon the CoB under the failed leadership of the CoB’s previous management team of Harold Doty (former Dean) and Farhang Niroomand (former Associate Dean).
