I guess it was an excess of comfort which drove so many of the best away?

No USM alumni or administrator will respond against this letter.  That's sad, and wouldn't happen most places.

If I'm not mistaken this is not the first time we have seen a letter on the USM crisis and other topics from this person.

For Mr. Moulder and all those other "bidness" types who think that a "bidness" is a dictatorship in which employees should just shut up and work:

previous efforts (from the Google cache):

(6/24/04 HA) Joseph Parker's elitist, condescending, know-it-all tirade ("It is wise to think before speaking," June 17) against those with whom he disagrees is a sterling example of a man putting his mouth in motion before putting his brain in gear. Mr. Parker's know-it-all attitude, along with others in the same mode, is quite possibly one of the primary reasons Dr. Thames decided to end the long-standing practice of letting the inmates run the asylum.

I don't know much about the Flat Earth Society, but of this I am sure: Mr Parker has "spoken out," thereby removing all doubt who the real fool is.

Charles Moulder, Hattiesburg


--and--


(1/7/03 HA) I am now convinced the people of Hattiesburg have had their fill of Harvey Warren's vapid serial letters bemoaning the Confederate flag.

In the interest of reader sanity, I recommend he widen his rather narrow horizon with a two-year, bi-weekly harangue regarding a potential economic crisis I'm sure is closer to the collective hearts of the citizens of this city than the beaten-to-death flag flap: The rising price of cheese in northern Wisconsin.

What's he talking about?

If universities were asylums, wouldn't the students be the inmates? Wouldn't the faculty correspond to the medical staff? I don't understand this guy's analogy.

Now we're heard it all. Universities as asylums, faculty members as criminal, lazy and deserving of jail. Friendly people, these letter writers.

I heard one of Shelby's cronies (a faculty member) use that exact phrase about his colleagues years ago. That was one of the reasons he wanted Shelby--no more faculty decisions.

Mr. Moulder is fond of the asylum phrase. He may have been the first to use it in the current debate. He also has a sense of Thames' importance equaled perhaps only by Thames himself, as the second paragraph analogy suggests:

HA, March 14, 2004

Asylum being run by inmates

Before Dr. Thames is led out to be crucified by a screaming mob whose favorite exercise is jumping to conclusions, would it be asking too much to wait and see if the firings are legally justified?

So far, all of this kangaroo court mass hysteria tends to remind me of another victim of a yelling mob around two millennia ago.

Presently, it seems to me the inmates are running the asylum.

Charles Moulder, Hattiesburg

Nice work USMS. It would be nice if those folks who pump up Shelby's "bidness" acumen and his knowlege of how to manage according to the best practices of the "bidness" would see what "business" managers really are up to . . .

Ah yes, and there was the famous Roy Klumb quote analogizing Shelby and Jackie Robinson ending with "Who will be USM's Jackie Robinson?" (that is pretty close I think).

In every job I have ever been involved in or heard about from others, the workplace would have been SO much more genuinely productive if the people in charge (at every level) had simply practiced the Golden Rule.  I have always been astonished at how many "managers" and "administrators" don't seem to understand this very simple fact.  People are usually willing to work very hard if they feel that the people "above" them really care about them as human beings.  From what I can see, Shelby seems to lack any sense of empathy or sympathy.

info, let me get this straight. I must have read it wrong. Did that letter actually ask the question "...would it be asking too much to wait and see if the firings are legally justified" before someone is "...led out to be crucified by a screaming mob whose favorite exercise is jumping to conclusions?" Surely nobody would say that. Well, we did wait, and we saw that neither the plaintiff's case nor the hearing itself made mention of anything even remotely related to "legal."  Crucified and mob are pretty nasty words. I trust they were used metaphorically.

Not to mention the problem that it appeared to be Frank and Gary who were getting crucified.  JL
