Front-page article in the Clarion Ledger today is headlined:

"Some Faculty say USM not the Place for Them"

English professor Susan Malone planned to retire from the University of Southern Mississippi before unrest escalated on the Hattiesburg campus.

Now, Malone is leaving USM to become an associate dean of education at Mercer University in Georgia.

"I'm really pleased to have the opportunity, but it's highly unlikely I would have even been aware of it or looked at it seriously if things were not as they are at the university," said Malone, who has been at USM 10 years. "I would have a hard time encouraging faculty across the country to come here."
