Things in the CoB

Date: Jul 1, 2005

Watch for the fire works as some staff members are moved to please certain old and new administrators.

Date: Jul 1, 2005

I heard that Doty wrote "I do not concur. The process is flawed. HD" on the bottom of each staff member's evaluation. Apparently he thought the department chairmen had rated staff too highly. At least two are now considering other opportunities because of this.

Doty is using people to play games with his vita. Just another example of his "me first" attitude with respect to everything.

Date: Jul 1, 2005

I have heard the same in JGH the past few days. Staff are unhappy. But they are learning that the evaluation process is being used by Doty to further his career as he has been doing with several faculty issues. So now JGH is one big unhappy family.

The Dome should look favorably on a college where the staff has low moral (sic) standards

It might actually increase morale in the CoB if Thames would fire Doty.

Date: Jul 1, 2005

The CoB, just shut ir down!

Date: Jul 1, 2005

C'mon guys. Play nice. Dean Doty knows what a real school is supposed to be like. After all he was a student at one -- or so he tells the faculty.

Date: Jul 1, 2005

Doty was "ejected" from the Dome this afternoon. Full story tonight I suppose.

Date: Jul 1, 2005

I got ir done!

Date: Jul 1, 2005

Kegs tapped when?

Date: Jul 1, 2005

Define "ejected."

Date: Jul 1, 2005

I live in a neighbourhood near a couple of CoB profs, and they have independently invited me to future "Doty Got Fired" parties at their respective houses, with the date to be determined. It looks like I may need to pick out an outfit.

I have a close friend at Syracuse University (Doty's former school) who told me that she knew Doty when he was there and this type of behavior is consistent with his actions at Syracuse. He uses people to set himself up for better things, regardless of the impact it has on others. The story about staff evaluations shows that he will disrupt the lives of the staff to (1) prove a point to his chairs and (2) affect a change in the staff evaluation system. That way, he can check the box on his vita that says "While at USM, I revamped the staff evaluation process" so that he'll look like he actually knows what it's like to be a dean. He's not a nice person.

Don't buy any of this stuff about Doty from these posters. He's worse than they describe. They are sugar coating things.

Blue horseshoe says call Arkansas.

Airmen Cecil and O'Malley will testify that Doty mistreated CoB staff. But, before we get to them, we should ask Doty if he ordered the Code Red on a departmental chair last week.

Maybe HD is gone. Then what? Some nitwit like Mr. Lassen, followed by yet another nitwit, ad nasueum. Somebody should remember to buy the AACSB consultant some antidepressant medication and the subsequent visitation team some large drinks. I forgot about the SACS consultant, but that poor person has larger fish to fry.

Too bad there's still the remnants of a decent college amid the rubble.

for now, in a few years?

remembrance of things past.

Can someone confirm that Doty is back to the faculty? Heard so tonight, but have gotten no verification. There is no news on HA P.M. Update yet. Any press release or e-mail message someone can report on?

You want me in the Dean's Office. You need me in the Dean's Office.

You can't handle the truth!

Now who will wash the CoB Dean's vehicle?

Date: Jul 2, 2005

I suspect that the washers will remain the same...only the washee changes.

Date: Jul 2, 2005

I saw the Doty washing his car today. He was sad and I couldn't tell if there were tears rolling down his cheeks or the hose had sprayed in his face. Students will enjoy taking his classes.

All this cryptic COB junk gets very old. Was Dean Doty removed as dean or not? A nice simple yes or no would be very nice.

Hush your mouth, TW. These are the people who are training the future maggots of industry.

Third Witch,

Nobody can answer the question except possibly Doty and Domers. We are waiting on confirmation from a source other than Doty, unless he decides to notify his faculty.

Let me guess....you lean to the left....hate the free market system, and believe the government should take care of everyone.

Date: Jul 2, 2005

No.

Date: Jul 2, 2005

Your Business, I hope you meant the poster after me. No, I believe in business -- done ethically.

Enron Edith, if you think business people are maggots, what do you suggest as an alternative? Collectivism does not have a particularly good track record.

To TW, thank you for a straight answer.
