Perhaps the buck should and does stop with Shelby.  He is certainly publicly proclaiming that to be the case.  However, with every statement he shifts the blame to underlings in the administration.  From there it will surely trickle down to the faculty.
 
Is not accreditation such a fundamental part of the university that some aspect of it is part of the job for every faculty member?
 
The faculty should act now, swiftly and publicly, to defend itself.  Those of you who did the work should say so now, loudly, or by the time the Spring semester begins in January the spin will once again have blamed the entire mess on all those lazy, self absorbed faculty members who refuse to give a full day's work for a full day's pay.
 
In case you have not figured it out yet,  around here the spin is the important thing.

Okay, other than spin, can some one tell me exactly what adminstrators do?

At USM, they DO NOT:

Meet with faculty or their representatives, unless firing them.

Raise money (remember the FACULTY have to bring in all those grants for economic develpment!)

Plan.

Meet goals and objectives.

Better the working atmosphere for staff, faculty or students.


What EXACTLY is Shelby doing in his office all day? What does he do besides drive that stupid little cart to ball games and throw parties for his cronies under white tents on Jamestown Road?

NO QUARTER

Dizzy -


The buck DOES stop with Shelboo.  That's why he is getting paid the big bucks.  Whether or not the SACS problems started under his administration, he is ultimately responsible because he is the University president (ug!  that was yucky to type). 


This is a serious situation and personally, I'm not sure that Thames' people know what to do about it. 


I taught high school at H'burg HS and in North Carolina.  I went through the SACS process on that level.  It is a pain in the rear, but it isn't impossible.  I realize that at the university level, it is more involved (at least I hope so).  But if you have your documentation, you should be okay.  We always had a SACS committee in place to collect and store this documentation.  Isn't there a full-time person at USM who as part of their employment responsibilities has SACS reporting and documentation??


NO QUARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
