As of this week, Dr. Albin was in the COB teaching accounting. As far as any of us know, he never left.

Albin retired and was brought back in a stop-gap sense. His pay often moves around the budget --- he's not a full-time faculty any more in the sense that he used to be. It's probably accurate to have him on the list. I think babbs had him on her list last year as well (you can check).

Stanley Waldoff is back in the music department. He decided not to retire, but his line had already been filled. He is a long time supporter of Thames, and his colleagues tell me that his salary is being paid by SFT.

I'm getting blue in the face I have pointed this out so many times, but doug Chambers is NOT leaving. Please note for your records. Ask him if you distrust my repeated input. Thank you.

What stop gap is that? The accounting department is overstaffed!

This question may have been answered before but I have been wondering why the date for tracking faculty departures doesn't begin until August 2003? I can think of at least three faculty who left in one department before August 2003, and their departures were directly related to the Thames hire.

They are being tracked by academic year. There was a list for 2002-2003.

I'm sensing an agenda here from outside.

The ACC faculty have to staff two "service" courses (ACC 200 and ACC 300) that are not taken by ACC majors, all of the courses for the ACC major, and the courses for the MPA degree. Additionally, ACC lost part of an FTE to an administrative role in the college, not to mention the partial FTE loss for the department chair. In addition, one professor is about to begin "phased retirement." By my count, that leaves ACC with 8 FTE to cover about 14 different courses, several of which must be offered in multiple sections with small enrollment (less than 40).

I'm no accountant, but to offer 25 or 30 sections of ACC courses per year at Hattiesburg, a department needs at least 8 full-time faculty if it is to get any research or service done.

memorial wall does not use his or her real name when posting, which leads me to believe that he or she doesn't want to be identified. As such, asking Chambers would be a dead giveaway of his or her identity, thus defeating the point of using a nom de plume.

Additionally, Black Cat uses a board moniker as well, so that Black Cat could be anyone. Therefore, his or her information is suspect.

Until I see Doug Chambers on campus and teaching classes next Fall semester, I will believe that he is gone.

Hi all,

As a sometime lurker on this board, I can vouch for the information that my colleague Doug Chambers, to the best of my knowledge, is indeed staying here through next year at least. The other persons listed under history who are leaving or have left are accurate.

Tom and Judy Lytle retired from Department of Coastal Sciences, not Marine Sciences. Yes, there is a difference.
