CoB Swap Meet, Redux

Date: Jun 14, 2005

Who? What? When? Where?

Date: Jun 14, 2005

Any details, FFC? It seems that Doty is sticking around?

Date: Jun 14, 2005

I heard that Economics, International Business, and Finance lost its chair to resignation. Have heard no scuttlebutt on who the successor might be.

Date: Jun 14, 2005

Does anybody know if this recent spate of resignations is related to the Doty firing rumors or to SACS shortcomings in the CoB?

Date: Jun 14, 2005

So, who was it? We haven't heard anything all day.

Date: Jun 14, 2005

Mark Klinedinst resigned today as Chair of the economics and finance department. The ratio of permanent chairs to total chair positions in the CoB is back now to about 0.75. It has only been at 1.00 for a brief few weeks (the past few) since Doty arrived in 2003. It was about 0.25 for a long time during that period.

No word yet about a replacement. It will almost certainly be an internal selection.

The saga continues.....

Mark Klinedinst, chair of economics/finance, back to faculty. Farhang Niroomand, Associate Dean, to chair of economics/finance. Alvin Williams, marketing faculty, to Associate Dean........

Date: Jun 14, 2005

My name says it all.

Hearty and sincere appreciation to Mark Klinedenst who stepped up to a leadership position that he really didn't want in the first place for the good of the department and the college. For anyone who doesn't choose an administrative path, the role of chair is thankless. This "announcement" is neither a secret nor a scandal, although it is a disappointment.

Heard the story that Trellis Green will be named chair soon. Any word?

Date: Jun 14, 2005

The department in question greeted the announcement with a panicked yawn. The former chair and his predecessor did the invaluable work of staying out of the way of people who usually like to teach and can do research.

The department is now taking applications from retired dept. chairs (any academic area will do) for the position of adjunct department chair. Duties would include filling out paperwork, setting the schedule once a year, and filling out departmental evaluations using either dice or a ouiji board.

Because of their experience with accreditation, George Carter and Ty Black have been approached to see if either would consider taking the chair's position on an interim basis.

Dean Doty announced this afternoon that George Carter has been named chair.

George Carter has agreed to serve as department chair beginning July 1. I believe George will make an exceptional chair, and he has agreed to continue his leadership role in our AACSB reaffirmation efforts.

There is nothing "interim" about it.

Status quo ante.

Is that Doty? On the board?

The part quoted above is Doty from his e-mail informing the CoB of Carter's promotion.

As you can see, the word "interim" is no where to be found.

Like departmental faculty input.

Or consensus.

Or PRIDE.
