WJ Johnson: please read!

You should also send your letter to the Hattiesburg American. Thank you for your time and your professionalism. And don't let the few posters here scare you off. They are just a few friends of the two fired instructors and none of them work for USM any more.

If, as has been posted on this board, SFT & Co. are fabricating SACS data, is anyone witnessing this or documenting what is being pulled from thin air? I don't want SACS pulled from USM, but I wonder if more probation wouldn't be a good thing IF SFT is still president at that time.
