Thames & Exline, WDAM, SACS Probation and AACSB...
Permalink Closed


Did anyone see the WDAM 6:00pm news.  Thames and Exline were absolutely giddy acting about how benign the SACS letter was re USM and what needs to happen to get off probation.  One interesting thing:  this is the first news of the letter, even though it was dated 6 January 2005 (according to the reporter).  Since when does it take 8 days for a document to get from Atlanta to Hattiesburg?


I was just told that the business college at USM was being put on a "short-term" probation given the SACS problems (and must document to the business accreditor within six months that the SACS problems will be righted).


Can anyone familiar with business acred explain this one?

trust me, it can take 8 days. As I recall, (in the past) it would take about 10 days for any mail that my parents, who live just outside of Atlanta, to get to me in Hattiesburg. I stopped wasting my time with a subscription to my hometown newspaper because it would take a week to arrive. Mail that was going from Hattiesburg to Atlanta, however, moved much faster. I never understood why.

COB has not received notice of this from AACSB and is not likely to receive such a notice until after the review in 2007.  Of course the Executive MBA without faculty or the Deans approval input could change this.

No wonder they were giddy. The news report showed the SACS letter, and it clearly referenced issues with courses offered through CICE. See, it is Hudson's fault.

And the "fix" was to give Kenbot responsiblity for CICE...academic responsibility?

Actually, I believe that AACSB accreditation is contingent upon SACS, as are other "college-level" accreditations. SACS probation = AACSB probation, then.
