Thanks Info.  I didn't see any mention of the "new proposed policy" concerning the annual evaluation of presidents. I thought it would be here:


"Committee Reports and Recommendations.

Administration/Policy.  Agenda items will include approval of award of honorary degrees at Delta State University and Jackson State University, approval of the spring 2005 commencement schedule, and other business."


But as you see there is nothing.  What's up?

Is it possible that Klumb squashed Crofts attempt to "squeeze" Shelby?

I went back and saw your post on the Password thread. You knew that ahead of time?

" . . . . approval of a new academic unit at the University of Southern Mississippi . . . . "


I thought USM was not to institute new things like this until the SACS matter was resolved. I must not be seeing things right.

I don't "know" anything except that they behave very predictably.

Yes, you are right. They have to fill up the Trent Lott building. There could be several things happening because no one wants to cross Senator Lott. No use speculating however. It could be any number of under the table deals (uh, compromises.) Also they may be waiting until they change Presidents to deal with USMs Presidential issues. Ah, politics.

Parking Lotts, can you give me a hint as to about which page of that long thread I would find your post?  Or could you repost it here? Thanks.

The next stupid thing = creating new college(s) for the purpose of filling poorly planned new buildings.

Back in either February or March, it was reported that Rex Gandy went before the IHL to request the School of Computing Sciences. We know of an individual that has basically been offered employment for one of the new programs in the School pending approval by the IHL at the April meeting. It would seem that SACS is probably being kept in the dark, again.

Thanks.  One thing I do know is that the Technology programs have been reorganized.  I think they formed the School of Construction Technology and another school whose name I'm not sure.  It may be School of Computing.  But none of these are new programs, just a shifting of the existing programs/departments into Schools.

There will be at least one new program in the School of Computing Sciences and it will be a Software Engineering program.

I thought there already was a "Software Engineering Technology" Program.   I thought it was part of the Computer Engineering Tech. Program.  I could be wrong and will now check the USM site.  Thanks Already Reported.

I found it.


"The School of Engineering Technology offers six undergraduate programs with direct application to industry. The five Engineering Technology programs listed below are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (TAC of ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202, telephone (410) 347-7700.



  • Architectural Engineering Technology
  • Computer Engineering Technology
  • Construction Engineering Technology
  • Electronics Engineering Technology
  • Industrial Engineering Technology

The school also offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering Technology."

I've never before known a university where so many knew so little about so much. Sometimes I wonder if the faculty as a whole is deliberately kept in the dark.

My understanding is that this Software Engineering program will be significantly different from the existing Software Engineering Technology program. The individual that has been discussing employment with them has degrees in Computer Science and bunches of experience teaching programming. My understanding is that this is probably the rebirth of what was once referred to as the "Applied Computer Science" degree. The existing Software Engineering Technology program was part of the first round of destruction quietly perpetrated by King Shelby. My understanding is that all of the Engineering Technology programs have been hurting since he ascended his royal throne.

i've heard that the changes will be a new school of computing which will include in it computer science, etc. as well as the engineering technology programs.  the construction programs will become a new department.  geography and geology are going to be merged as well.  the engineering tech programs suffer one problem--faculty credentials.  remember one thing--SACS trumps ABET.

You've just now caught on to this?

You commented once before on your interpretation of the difference between "School" and "College" nomenclature.  Is your usage of "School" today significant?  Is a new "College" being formed or is this new "School" an entity within the CoST??
