He guys, the most interesting line in there is:

"I'm a professor at MSU" (where MSU is Michigan State University). I don't think this is true.

Fire Shelby Moderator, can you do some digging? I think I know someone who has a copy of her vita. I'll ask around, but I don't think she was ever a professor at MSU. This could be important for Glamser and Stringer to have when their hearings commence --- further evidence that she is willing to say anything about her credentials to pump up her standing.

If you can get your hands on the vita, look and see if indeed she claims to have been a prof at Michigan. If so, this is the first time I have heard such. At the very least, the USM AAUP needs to be informed about this--I am sure that AAUP members are reading the message board.

Does anyone know in which field she earned a PhD from Florida State?

Date: Mar 25, 2004

I believe her PhD is in English.

Date: Mar 25, 2004

I have a copy of her resume in front of me. It says three separate things about what she was doing from 1990-1994. These are:

1. Project Administrator/Executive Producer, Office of the Vice Provost of Computing Technologies and Libraries, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI.

2. Faculty Administrator, Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities, College of Arts and Letters, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI.

3. Assistant Professor, Department of American Thought and Language, College of Arts and Letters, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI.

First off, I guess we all now know where the name/idea for "College of Arts and Letters" came from. She got her PhD in english from Florida State University in 1989. From 1985-1990, she was instructor at Enterprise State Junior College in Alabama. It is unheard of for someone to take that pedigree (FSU PhD) and academic experience (instructor, ESJC) to a faculty position at a Big X school like Michigan State. My sense is that she got hired in that low-level adminstrative position (item #1) above, and also played fast-and-loose with the truth on the assistant professor item (#3 above), just like she did again later at Kentucky.

It would be very interesting if someone had the contacts to check on that Michigan State professor job!

Thames keeps saying he wants the hearing open to the public...couldn't he clear up a lot of this by making Dvorak's resume and credentials open to the public? That has nothing to do with the professor's hearing...People keep saying they wonder why the professors don't want the hearing open...wonder why Thames and Dvorak don't want her credentials out in the open???

If you compare the timing reported by Babbs with the MSU.bitnet information, it appears that there may have been overlap in 1994 between the job at MSU and the Thomas Cooley law program - both in Lansing? Was she working part-time and getting the law degree part-time?

Date: Mar 25, 2004

Someone needs to write to the Hattiesburg American (I may do it myself!) and ask them this very question...if they are so concerned with "openness and honesty" then why did they take down Dvorak's bio from the USM Website?

Double standards abound at Shelby U. these days.

Looking at what everyone has posted and the infamous resume, I'd like to know how Angelina did so much so quickly. She seemed to be everything for everybody all the time. What a meteoric rise from , where - Enterprise State College? She also claims to have been a secondary school teacher - now where would that be? While gaining multi-degrees from a various places, she managed to perform amazing feats and rise to the heights of tenure at the Univ. of Kentucky. Yeah, right. Also since when does a President of a Community College call themselves the CEO of that college too?? Wouldn't the term President suffice??? Usually people who are, well, so "enthusiastic" about their accomplishments embellish in order to some how defend their lack of credibility. I see this happening in the vitas that are now floating around campus concerning the person who just received the highest merit pay increase. Very suspicious.

I've seen several posts where people ask "If the professors have nothing to hide, why not open the hearing?"

If Dvorak has nothing to hide why doesn't she publish her resume...show a chronology of exactly where she was employed and in what capacity and when? Wouldn't that clear up quite a bit?

This is an excellent point. It would be extremely interesting to see how all of this could have been accomplished. I have a feeling that we would find a "passing fancy" with the truth.

"

Regarding MSU items #2 and #3, it is possible she was working in the administrative position in the College of Arts and Letters AND teaching as an adjunct (same college - Arts and Letters). There is no mention of the MSU appointment being a tenure-track position.

One possibility to get more info on what she was doing at MSU is to Google for people who were there back then (for example, search on the name of the department--you may find people who have listed it on their resume). I found one person who is currently teaching in Taiwan; he probably knows nothing about what's happening at USM right now, but he was an associate prof at MSU from 89-91 and might remember her or at least the circumstances of her hiring?
