Who has a link to the list of USM merit raises?

Please!!!

The Hattiesburg American had an article on it, including the names (in a table). I don't think the table of names appeared on the website though. Someone may have to scan it in.

Does anyone know how to search the HA webiste? I haven't found a search function there.

Did the Student Printz do an article on it?

But this link doesn't mention Dana Thames at all??? So, it can't be a complete listing?

Does anyone know where we can get such a list?

Here's an article about Dana Thames, but it doesn't cover anyone else.

It is my understanding that Myron Henry was given ALL the info you are looking for. Hold on now do not beat me up or get mad, but I understand he did not want to disclose it because it blows him out of the water as far as his salary. Furthemore, he has kind of jerked us around on the handbook issue a little I am not sure he is reporting all that is being done---I don't know but wonder?

I think she's just looking for the information that was reported in the Hattiesburg American and on WDAM. I remember seeing it both places, but I haven't been able to find it on their web sites. It was disclosed. We just don't happen to have our hands on it at the moment.

It is my understanding that the Deans of each college recommended people for raises--many of them deserved raises. I have seen the list, and I know that many of the people on the list deserved the raises they received. Some of those on the list are brilliant scholars and EXCELLENT teachers and advisors--and because they are on that list does not indicate that they are supporting Shelby.

That being said, there are also people on the list whose raises deserve questions. Central to this issue are the raises (DT, for example) that were given arbitrarily.

No one is asking the right question here. There was a process to recommend raises. The process has been reported. There was a list of the people who received raises. The list was reported. What is the question that no one has asked?

Answer that question and you'll catch them in another publicly stated lie!

I agree with some of the raises, but I also would like to know how they were given.

I was told that salaries are located in Cook library because it's public record.

Date: Mar 29, 2004

How is "merit? defined in the process? That's the question!

If the education chair was so far behind in salary, why wasn't this address earlier? This explanation is still "smoke and mirrors." During this time the quality faculty that have left--and not been replaced--is frightening. When the university defends itself in another lawsuit coming from THIS department, we will see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

The deans of each college sent the list of names recommended for raises to the provost. Each college had its own process and that's another issue. This has been reported in the press. The list of names of those who received raises has been reported in the press. The President has publicly stated that the deans made the decisions. The missing link is that the lists are NOT the same (and this is true across colleges). There are individuals on the deans' lists who were recommended for raises and did NOT get them and there are individuals who DID receive raises who were not on the deans' lists!!! Checking the discepencies between the lists will answer a lot of questions but it will require some FOIA requests.

I've heard this, as well. Deans' "highest performers" lists were changed.

And it's another public problem with veracity!
