Stinky,

I guess I was being too subtle in trying to make a point.I should have pointed out that, in the past, I witnessed undergraduate recuriting practices which can be described as nothing short of shameful. I once almost walked out of a high school recruiting session to which I had been sent.

Ouch! Stinky, do you think that Polymer Science may be redundant too?

I'm biased, of course, but I agree that students with a background in forensics (debate) are generally bright enough to know the difference between debate & criminal investigation.

Still, it is monumentally confusing when the "forensics" program at one of the other IHL "sister institutions" includes links to the coaching staff & team roster at their website. Intriguingly, their forensics program is under the auspices of the Lott Leadership Institute.

So, USM gets a "Lott Institute" & a "forensics" program. We're hot on the heels of Ole Miss, I guess

Invictus,
I recall that USM once announced it was establishing or had established a program to train bailbondsmen. Do you know if USM still (to use your phrase) "rules the roost" for that program? If so, will the bailbondsmen program be housed over there with the sciences?

This might have been something associated with the police academy program run at the coast campus. That program regularly trains Mississippi police officers.
