Our core mission reflects taking PRIDE in all we do - Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, Excellence
Here is the first of many questions I will address over the next few weeks: have USM administrators taken publicly accountable, state money -- money which is ordinarily subject to freedom of information requests -- and laundered it through the USM Foundation? Have they converted public funds into a “booze account” for which there is no public accountability? (They aggressively maintain the information is not subject freedom of information requests.) Have they created a $1,160,930 booze account in 2005, as they did in previous years, and with which they can “do pretty much anything [they] want”?
As you read this website -- now and in weeks to come -- don’t lose site of a most important fact: USM has spent tens of thousands of dollars fighting my freedom of information requests. What are its administrators hiding?
