There has been a decrease in number of applications for faculty positions which means that the work of search committees will be much lighter.

I realized that I have talent as a online news reporter/editor/columnist and as a photoshop flier artist.  Thanks, Shelby, for providing the situation in which I could realize those abilities.

Kumbaya, my lord, Kumbaya.  Isn't this thread so fuzzy and feel-good?

Student activism increased ten-fold in 2004.  We joined hands and held up signs and told Shelby, "We're not gonna take it."

Faculty unity really is a positive, and the one really shining thing to come out of all this. People who would never have met are fast friends, and I think many people have a new empathy for other departments and areas of university life.
But that's about it.

In fairness to all, this statement from yesterday's HA editorial should be posted here. It provides one view of USM progress:

"As he has in the past, Thames cited increased enrollment and new projects as proof of Southern Miss' progress."


We know about the "increased enrollment" - An increase of 90 to 100 students someone said. The "new projects as proof of Southern Miss' progress," however, have not yet appeared on this thread.

Well, there was the attempt to move Nursing to the old Albertson's building. That attempt was an accomplishment in itself. Add it to the list.

FireShelby, and then AAUP, have provided a marvelous vehicle for faculty communication that never before existed at USM.  This is a very positive thing that has occurred.

Students who never prepared for college and would never have attended a university are now enrolling.  Who knows they may even pick up a Ph.D. in Economic Development before they leave.  That's progress.  If USM keeps moving forward as SFT leads, everyone in the state may have a degree.

A positive thing: We are thinking more about the artistic and aesthetic things in life - like naming the shade of a certain brand of green paint (I believe that Soylant Green will win out).

I love these posts. They are simply great! But surely some significant progress has been made at USM during the past two or three years or the IHL would raise its ugly head and shake its ugly tail. Please name something of substance that has happened good around here.

Some have been elevated to new positions that command a name on the door and a bigelow on the floor.

Now, Dana, how else could we have funded your big raise and all the new faculty in your department?

Another sign of progress - Cynthia Moore replaced her new carpet in the new building with one more to her liking, thus increasing her satisfaction.
