Maybe after he installs his unqualified daughter as Dean of her college, he will have achieved all of his objectives and retire.

His daughter needs to learn how to be honest on a website that discusses faculty credentials/interests. Are all these people "tenured"?? Heck, some of them are graduate assistants. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. But, was she worried about getting Merit Pay? Obviously not!

I looked at the faculty website and saw the overinflation of listed tenured professors too 22 of them. It's obvious that most of them aren't tenured. In fact 13 of them aren't - some are graduate assistants. Of the 9 listed as tenured 2 are retiring, leaving that faculty with just 7 tenured prof. That department is devoted to training teachers. They got in trouble for a poor showing last spring when NCATE (their nat'l accreditation was in town) and have to do better now in order to keep the students who want to be teachers. Looks like something else Dana ran into the ground yet still receives merit pay.

Nope, his last objective is to probably try and get rid of the usm gulf park campus in long beach and all of its faculty! and staff.

Ken Malone (phd Polymer Science also Cheif Operations officer on the gulf coast put there by Thames.) has shut down the conferencing and lodging center on the gulf coast. He has also shut down the cafeteria on the coast and the student center is next. People have lost jobs. Motor pool on the gulf coast is the next to go.

How can Ken Malone be Chair of a Dept. when he has never had tenure at ANY university ANYWHERE EVER??

Someone needs to look into this.

Hey Truth4USM,

Webmaster FireShelby may have closed the thread about Dr. Hollingsworth prematurely given this connection. Read this paste from that thread, look at your last question and see where it goes.

When Thames consolidated the number of colleges on this campus, he eliminated the Graduate School of which Hollandsworth was the Dean. He was going to teach Mississippi History, but the administration pulled him from doing that because his advanced degree is in psychology, not history. The administration said that he couldn't teach because of accrediation purposes, but Hollandsworth had approval to teach history by the guidelines of SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.)

Sorry about that. I had considered closing week-old threads last night, and tested on that thread, to see how the close command functioned. Definitely no ill intent--Dr. H is a great guy.

I kicked the thread and it is now open for comment. There are no closed old threads, and after seeing that folks are accessing old threads, I won't close old threads.

Here's the connection between these two threads. Dr. Hollingsworth was prevented from teaching what he was good at because his doctorate was not in that field. About the same time, the same administration put Malone in the Business school as a department chair and, guess what, he doesn't even have a business degree (not one business degree - not a bachelors, not a masters, not a PhD)! Truth4usm, it's not just that he was never tenured anywhere - he has never had an academic appointment. He was Shelby's graduate student! Now, he is both a department chair in economic development and chief operating officer on the coast. Note that these sort of concurrent appointments are what allowed VP Dvorak to have such a robust resume.
