(December 10, 2008) CoB News, 10 December 2008 Salter’d The mention at the end of yesterday’s CoB News installment that former CoB real estate faculty Sean Salter blocked former CoB dean Harold Doty’s attempt to eliminate the CoB’s real estate program has sparked interest among some of USMNEWS.net’s readers.

(February 11, 2009) EFIB Bites Fractured Real Estate The CoB's real estate program, which currently resides in the EFIB, is slated to become (beginning 2009-10) part of FINRELS under dean Lance Nail's IHL-approved reorganization of the CoB. Under current EFIB chairman George Carter's stewardship, sources say that the RE program has been largely devastated. A number of events have transpired that have been detrimental to the program: (1) the loss of assistant professor Sean Salter, (2) the separation of business law from the EFIB, (3) the fracturing of RE instruction, and (4) the failure to foster inter-departmental relationships that could benefit the RE initiative.

(December 21, 2009) Blue Raiders topple Eagles New Orleans Bowl 2009: MTSU 42, USM 32. USM led 14-0 early and then faded. That is a metaphor for USM. Among others, Sean Salter was a CoB professor under the oppression of the likes of George Carter, Farhang Niroomand, Alvin Williams, and Harold Doty. As old George was “making his case” against Dr. Salter – much like he made against Trellis Green that resulted in a lawsuit and the end of George’s first reign – Salter, knowing how badly the deck was stacked against an untenured assistant professor by the entrenched old guard, departed USM for MTSU. There he has thrived; he has produced many quality publications that Dean Lance Nail wished he still had to count for his impending AACSB re-accreditation visit. Like the football team, the CoB administrators started fast but ultimately lost the game. It is ironic and appropriate that both lost to MTSU.
