Robert, I notice that your hotlinks don't usually works. Somebody else seems to have to hotlink them after you entered them. All you have to do is cut-and-paste to where you want the hotlink to appear, and then (this is the part I think you are missing) -- go to the end of the to-be-hotlink which you have cut and pasted, and press "enter" (after the letters "html." Low and behold, right before your lil' old Clemson eyes, the thing will turn into a hotlink. Witness this:

scm,

Thank you. I made a correction to my comments about Cecil Burge.

What is his original discipline?

Teacher,

I'll try your procedure again, but what I've found is this...

On my Macintosh, using Explorer running on Mac OS 9.2, nothing I've tried will usually activate the link.

On my Wintel machine, using Explorer running on Microsoft Windows XP, I just need to do the Copy and the link activates itself.

You can also activate URLs with BB/pseudo-HTML tags. I can't actually type in an example or it would turn to a hotlink, but if you click the "Posting How-To" link toward the bottom of a message composition screen, you'll get activeboard's help file on how to code and link if these things aren't supported by your browser or operating system.

IT director,

Ahh, you mean those fake HTML tags in square brackets (which I've used on some other boards).

I'll try them next time around.

Dr. Burge has his bio page at http://www.usm.edu/research/bio-burge.html

His Ph.D. is in Electrical Engineering. He was in Computer Science at USM prior to moving into administration.

FacAnon,

Thanks for the pointer to Cecil Burge's bio.

I see that he's done a bunch of consulting... but I wonder whether he would meet AACSB standards were the Economic Development department still in the College of Business.

Thanks for the excellent analysis in this blog entry. But most of all, thanks for the link to the USM ONLINE SURVEY. I don't know how I missed it earlier, but what a hoot! At first, I really thought it was a parody. The copy writers even misspelled "folllowing" in the first sentence.

It put me in mind of the old "Famous Artist School" ads in the comics of my youth: "Can you Draw this Pirate?"

ram, when I saw those art school advertisements in the comic books I always suspected that if you drew a terrible pirate the school would write to you and say you need training desperately; and if you drew a creditable pirate the school would write to you and say that you have great art ability and that their school can develop it to its maximum potential - maybe leading to an art career.

Dr. Burge does not meet the AACSB standards for either academic or professional qualification in economic development. The standards are available online at the AACSB website.

Webcrawler,

Thank you. I see that the relevant standards are in this long document on the AACSB site

http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/business/standards01-01-04.pdf

See pages 38 to 48.

Interesting to see AACSB link here. Interesting to learn from others still at USM that in late 00s CBA shutdown their assessment activities and have not been in compliance with AACSB standards since. Now we can observe the CBA will "create" data to cover it up.
