Jay Grimes has called a campus-wide meeting for 1:30 on Friday, July 8. What now??

qwerty

Do we have any USM folks in London? Is Jamela Lares still there?

Angeline

I know, I know. I'm just a whiny professor who doesn't appreciate how the university "saves" money by spending it frivolously, but here's another problem with some of the "grants" received by USM. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that for 2004 "The University...

Let's remember we have many friends, faculty and students, in London. Our hearts and prayers are with them.

Dr. Zeus

Spoke with a SACS contact yesterday who reminded me of the "suggestion" that no new programs be launched until the '06 visit is resolved. This may not qualify as a degree, but it is an emphasis area (according to reports) and thus constitutes something new.

I heard rumblings today about more serious problems in the IDV program. Can anyone provide details? Heard it started in a recent Grad Council meeting.

Austin Eagle

The HA piece regarding the G-S settlement and reminiscing about the old Thames gang prompted me to look at the Hanbury & Dvorak web site. It is no more. Now it's the John Hanbury web site. What happened to the great new law practice that was going to service all the business needs of Forrest Co...

Can CoB faculty be compelled to teach gaming-related courses if doing so conflicts with deeply held religious convictions?

A former employee of TH (think academics) claims to have the complete list of MIDAS kids. Would that be helpful to anyone's research?

Reporter

On page 2A of today's hard copy of the Hattiesburg American there is a very short piece entitled, "Board Reports No Extra Expenses". The IHL did not pay the legal fees. "The university paid $107,589 in legal fees ...and about $350,000 in compensation to the two professors." So it appears t...

I spoke with a long-time (about 20 years) member of the CoB yesterday. He said that treatment of the CoB staff by the most recent group of administrators is as bad as it has ever been, and consequently staff moral there is as low as ever. I know we like to kick the CoB threads around a bit, but ...

They were all accused and later had charges dropped. Now, they have all moved on to other Universities. Glamser/Stringer are praised, while Reaves is being based. Why, becaues Glamer/Stringer left USM and Reaves is coming to USM. Nothing more, nothing less.

PERS recipient

Does anyone know if health insurance went up for PERS recipients on July 1? I got my PERS automatic deposit today. The 13th check kicked in today also but it seemed to have been offset on the monthly amount by something and it probably was another health insurance increase.

Well, it didn't take long for someone to forward me the latest outrage, this one related to the MIDAS program. I have no reason to doubt my source, so this is 99.9% likely true. Imagine the following: a professor announces he needs a break from USM, gets a one-year job at another instituti...
