Hanbury Responds
(Preview)
From the WDAM website:
J. Hanbury sez:
You need to understand the context in which this email was written. The Faculty Senate requested the names of the individuals recommended for mid-year raises. This is quite different from the names of those who actually received raises. It is my opinion th...

SGA & e-mail
(Preview)
Doc Candidate brought up the SGA in another thread. I thought it was a great idea, so I am starting a new thread. Has the USM SGA commented on the students' e-mail being monitored? Couldn't (shouldn't) the students at USM demand that the SGA somehow address this? Any thoughts, students?

news on Dean Doty
(Preview)
Dean Doty is still around. Some profs I talked to today think, if nothing else, that Hanbury's ill-advised e-mail actually bought Doty a little more time. But, someone I know in the dome said the heat is still on. Possibly just a matter of time.

Just an observation:
I understand why you get ads up top when you get a free forum, like this one.
It's only fair.
The humorous thing is when the "intelligence" of the targeted banner software kicks in, and chooses which ads are appropriate for this board.
So far, the top ones I have se...

I heard we just lost a very good faculty member yesterday, and that the loss takes away the last remaining faculty in the entire department. Is this criminal justice? I'm hoping to find out today by getting some names from my original source.
