WHOA!  That is an amazing list; thanks for posting it.  I guess one of Shelby's claims to fame will now be that he is helping to boost employment offers in the local economy.

To be fair, I'm not sure what conclusions can be drawn from the list of approximately 85 openings at USM.  For example, the Ole Miss site currently lists about 75 openings and the Mississippi State site lists approximately 150. JSU only lists about 35, and Hinds Community College lists only 6.

I checked Hinds because the last time I saw figures, it trailed only USM and MSU in student enrollment.

Perhaps I am overlooking something that is obvious to others.

How about this:

5 chair positions open...all in COAL (we also know that English and History will be losing chairs this year).

Director of Mass Comm and Journalism--open

44 Assistant/Associate professor postions--open (I have never seen this many faculty positions open at one time at USM--it's unprecedented).

This kind of news needs to be brought to the attention of the local media....this is evidence of the exodus that was predicted last year after the Glamser/Stringer debacle.

Also, I see they still have that HVAC listing from July. They need to get real about the salary. Additionally, I see that the University proofreader job is listed as a grade 11, but it should be a grade 12 at least. Both of these postings are a joke. One of the cost-cutting methods that can happen is that when positions (I'm talking about staff of course) are vacated, they get lowered a level before a new person is hired. Sneaky.

Or maybe a GED.

Thanks for the update.  It was in the nature of a joke that I heard the question asked, "Can you name Mississippi's three largest Institutions of Higher Learning?" Of course, the assumption is the "Big Three": MSU, USM, and UM (in no particular order, don't you know).  Apparently, UM may have been passed by at least two community colleges.

As I mentioned the other day though, Ole Miss is making lemonade and laying claim to the small campus feel that they are able to maintain by holding their enrollment to manageable levels.
