Thanks to Faculty Senate!
Permalink Closed

The Faculty Senate, and specifically the Ad Hoc Committee on Credentials and Hiring and Tenure Processes, at the University of Southern Mississippi deserves much credit and gratitude for their recent report (See FS front page).  Thank you for exhibiting such courage.


One has to wonder, given the strong wording of the committee's report, whether the current administration will try to set up an alternative faculty representation group in the same manner that an alternative student newspaper is being suggested.  Might it only have 32 members?

I add my thanks to the Faculty Senate for this report.  We look forward to hearing more from this astute body of courageous faculty members.

Great report from the Faculty Senate. I am looking forward to seeing the fallout.

This morning, I contacted the Hattiesburg American with information about the conflicting "enrollment prognosis" (Lisa's version vs. College Board's version as reported in CL).  I also contacted them and asked why no story on the Faculty Senate's resolution re: Angie's non-tenured situation.  We'll see what come of it.


Truth (continuing to beat her head against the sometimes-silent wall of the HA).

Dismantle the USM Faculty Senate?  Even they wouldn't dare!

And if the did dare, there would only be two or three departments represented: Dana's, Shelby's, and Angie's.  Hard to have campus-wide faculty representation when only 32 people on campus support the administration--and, really, those people who voted "confidence" in Shelby may not have such in him.  We know by now that S&Co are good at arm-twisting.


I can't imagine him doing something so reckless as attempting to establish an alternate faculty representative group.

I want to add to the chorus of praise for the Ad Hoc Committee on Credentials and Hiring and Tenure Practices. They did a thorough job of exposing Angie Dvorak's lack of qualifications to be passing on the tenure or promotion of any USM faculty member. They pointed out the violations of the Faculty Manual (even the Hanburyized version). And they asked the right, pointed questions about the manner in which Dvorak was hired.

I can only hope the Clemson Faculty Senate would be so gutsy, if we should get into the kind of mess that USM is in.

Shelby and Co. have absolutely zilch regard for the Faculty Hanbury, whoops, I mean Handbook.
