Concerned faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of USM < creators of the online petition voicing no confidence in Shelby Thames (see petitiononline.com/usmtruth/petition.html).

Hewitt, Andrea < 1. see truth4usm; 2. see petitiononline.com/usmtruth/petition.html.

Honor House Rally < 1. pro-Thames rally held outside USM’s Honor House just days after the first anti-Thames rally at the dome; 2. attended mainly by USM football coaches (who looked on tv to be absolutely "thrilled" to be there) and a few local business people.

petitiononline.com/usmtruth/petition.html < 1. online petition stating "No Confidence in Dr. Shelby Thames as President of the University of Southern Mississippi"; 2. online petition created by Concerned faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of USM and written by Andrea Hewitt; 3. check it out today.

staff don’t eat < reference to a policy from the Thames administration mandating that all departmental offices remain open during lunch (see efficiency), leaving overworked (and underpaid) secretarial staff scrambling for time/opportunity to get lunch (they had previously been allowed to close during the lunch hour).

USM millionaires < 1. reference to Shelby Thames’ plan to make millionaires out of all USM faculty and staff, presumably through grants and contracts; 2. Thames says his fear is that his plan will be so successful that all USM faculty and staff will retire at one time and nobody will be around to run the university (faculty/staff are leaving in droves, but don’t think it’s because they’re millionaires); 3. he reiterates this goal at each "new-faculty orientation".
