Financial Affairs is becoming The Office of the Controller.... While we will have a new location and a new name, we will continue to provide the same quality customer service that you are accustomed to receiving.

Darn it. New name but same old quality? I was hoping they'd provide better quality customer service than before.

As Ed McMahon said to Carnack the Magnificent, "You are correct, Sir." And this from Greg Lassen, the man who would be our president.....Sigh.

Financial Affairs is relocating to Bond Hall, 2nd Floor (entrance from the 4th Street side of the building) during the last week of June.

Maybe they can find that half pint of gin that my buddy No-good Thurgood hid in his dorm room in 1973. Hid it & hid it so well he never found it. Still owes me $3.55 for it, too.

Maybe so. He's certainly bright enough but it's hard to know who he really is underneath all the unctuous a$$-kissing behavior. Lassen may have already destroyed his credibility at USM by his unflagging allegiance to Thames.

Thanks for answering, HJF. 'Fraid those are my thoughts too. The greatest challenge ahead is the rebuilding, especially when it needs to be done around the obstacles in place.

I believe the "interim" Controller is now the Controller. Was the position ever advertised? The "interim" was appointed upon the departure of Dana Keith.
