The best thing about Decon™ is that the rats leave the house before they expire.

My post from another thread:

Did you know that the deptl. secretary for ec deve is the instructor of record on several courses offered by that group, including the upcoming set of courses for the executive MBA degree?

Decon should not be necessary, Invictus. All of those feral cats I saw on campus during my last visit to Hattiesburg should take care of the rat problem handily. I knew there must be some reason USM was nurturing that colony of feral cats. Now I know.

I am amazed that these programs can be excluded. Is the accreditation team aware of this? Can they be made aware of this? The introduction of new graduate degrees usually has to be approved by the college board. Are they new degree programs or are they reworked existing programs? If they are existing programs, they must be reviewed. Perhaps someone can enlighten me...

Uhh, fear not. Drs. Hudson and Doty are working feverishly on resolving the faculty shortage. The University of Petal at Eastabuchie is offering a 4 month, home study Ph.D. in Current Affairs, with grads virtually assured tenure track faculty positions in the CBED. They should be fully staffed in time for the Fall semester.

Do any of the Econ Devel programs require business courses or use business faculty? If so, the AACSB would be interested.

It has historically been sensitive to other "majors" taking bus. courses or trying to market themselves as a business degree.

What a deviation amplifying loop!

ED wants in CBED because CBED gives ED credibility. CBED doesn't want ED because ED causes CBED to lose credibility. Lose enough credibility and lose accreditation and then everyone loses!

The previous post was not the "real" realitycheck.

I am.

We have an "imposter" here. No harm done however.

I promised to post no more and no more will I post. I'd suggest another moniker. I like mine.

That was not my post.

Other than that, hello.

Bye
