sports fan

I'm a sports fan but no fan of Giannini. What does the future hold for him with this change?

USM Sympathizer

Am I correct in thinking that James Sims once taught English at USM? I have admired his scholarship for many years, and I am now reviewing a book in which his scholarship is cited often and praised frequently.

Do you think the IHL had a choice? They acted so slowly that they painted themselves into SFT's corner. Now the situation at USM is: 1. Can't search for a provost until we get a president, 2. Can't search for a president until be get a commissioner, 3. Just restarted a search f...

I'm at a conference, where one of the other attendees is from a college in Mississippi. I asked him, in the midst of a larger group, if he had heard of what is happening at USM. It turns out that several people had heard, and all were appalled. Comparisons of Shelby to Captain Queeg we...

I do not see SACS viewing SFT leaving two years from now as any reason to give us a break. Having a destructive lame duck for two years will not encourage faculty to rev up their efforts on SACS. As I have stated before, SACS is aware that that higher education in Mississippi has a rouge governing board. It...
