betrayal and sellout < how some anti-Thames fighters view the Glamser-Stringer settlement.
Brian, Brad < 1. Vice President of Coca-Cola’s Mississippi Division and former President of the ADP; 2. pro-Thames member of Hattiesburg business community who attended (and spoke to media) at the Honor House Rally; 3. stated that area businesses supported Shelby Thames for the economic impact he’s had on USM and the Hattiesburg community; 4. referred to Thames as a "doer" who can take USM where it should be and needs to be; 5. important player in tapping Harold Doty to be the first-ever Dean of the College of Business and Economic Development; 6. we know how Brad Brian feels about Shelby Thames, the question is: given the text in "5." of this Glossary entry, how does Shelby Thames feel about Brad Brian?
Chain, Bobby < 1. former Hattiesburg mayor and IHL Board member from Hattiesburg, 2. once supported Shelby Thames’ administration, but has since turned in the other direction; 3. called the USM faculty’s 430-32 "no confidence in Thames" vote "breathtaking"; 4. stated that he isn’t sure now that USM can be a success; 5. has said the Thames administration has been a national black eye for USM, and that he hopes the Dome Gnome has had surveillance on e-mails he has sent to campus (adding he’ll be "mad as hell" if it’s true).
e-mail surveillance < 1. intercepting/reading e-mails between two (or more) other parties, requiring the use of expensive, military-grade electronic equipment (see e-mail and iTech); 2. pastime of Shelby Thames and Jack Hanbury since (at least) January of 2004, if not much, much sooner (see e-mail perverts); 3. USM donor Bobby Chain says he hopes the Dome Gnome has intercepted some of the e-mails he has sent to campus, and if he finds out it has happened, he will "be mad as hell. . ." (HA, 5/1/04).
Faculty of Nutrition and Food Services < 1. seven members of the USM professorate that stood firm in support of their highly accomplished student, Rachel Quinlivan, in a letter to The Student Printz (4/29/04); 2. letter in support of Rachel Quinlivan indicated that Quinlivan has been accepted into a prestigious dietetic internship at the University of California at San Francisco and stated the view that Rachel possesses a keen sense of purpose, an outstanding work ethic, and integrity.
Let’s disband it < 1. statement made regarding the Faculty Senate at a recent USM Cabinet meeting; 2. according to Elliott Pood’s recollection (he was at the meeting), statement was made by "somebody" who "had some frustration"; 3. hundreds of people who weren’t at the meeting know by now that the "somebody" was Jack Hanbury, USM’s Risk Manager and university attorney, but Pood couldn’t recall who it was in an interview with Janet Braswell; 3. word on the street is that CBED Dean Harold Doty was the only person to speak out against Jack Hanbury’s idea during the cabinet meeting; 4. Lisa Mader indicated that the statement was made during "a discussion of how to improve communication campus wide" (one would guess that the Thames administration must be thinking that by eliminating the senate, there would be no need to communicate at all, thus "improving communication campus wide").
monitor campus events < what Angeline Dvorak told Lisa Mader (on 4/30/2004) she planned to do before deciding whether or not to sue Frank Glamser and Gary Stringer for challenging her credentials (see Dr. Dvorak & Mrs. Hyde).
Prejean, Danielle < 1. USM senior Honors College student, being advised (for thesis) by Frank Glamser; 2. tireless fighter for truth and integrity; 3. said USM’s academic integrity had been sacrificied by Thames administration scandals.
students’ right to privacy < entry on page 77 of the USM Student Handbook (2003-2004) stating that the "University [USM] will not police students’ private lives on or off campus nor violate their privacy rights in any way" (see e-mail perverts). [guest Glossary entry by wary undergrad]
McDuff, Rob < 1. ACLU lawyer assisting Michael Adelman in the defense of Frank Glamser and Gary Stringer during the Glamser-Stringer hearings; 2. lawyer who had inflicted a cut over the right eye Shelby Thames and Jim Keith and who had them both staggering against the ropes when they were saved by the bell of Reuben Anderson; 3. basically had the Glamser-Stringer hearings in the bag with his opening statement, and would have eviscerated Shelby Thames on cross if given the chance.
