Results from the exit evaluations of the CoB Dean are now in.  These were completed recently by CoB faculty who are retiring or leaving for greener pastures at the end of this year.  The mean scores are: Competency=0.80; Attitude=0.13 (0 to 5 scale).

Congratulations to those CoB junior faculty who passed 4th year reviews this semester.  Well done!

A record number of searches have been/are being conducted in CoB this year.  As a result, a couple of hires have been made.  Please give a "thanks" to those serving on search committees when you see them.

Announcement: A number of erroneous statements have been made to various job candidates during their respective visits to USM.  If you serve on a search committee, please pass these corrections along to those who have accepted or are considering positions in the CoB:

*** there is no G.A. support in the College *** the HVAC repair is not on schedule; it will be completed in 2007 *** AACSB reaffirmation is far from a certainty *** there will be office space available in the MIS suite after HVAC work is complete *** Summer pay is not as much as we informed you *** you may have to work in the Charcoal Room (will explain later) ***
