The ULM yearbook also addressed perceptions that Swearingen didn't spend enough time with students. After ULM received its poor audit, the then-student newspaper, ''The Pow Wow,'' released an editorial suggesting Swearingen should resign. Making matters worse for Swearingen was the "Truth At ULM" website, created by anonymous faculty members unhappy with Swearingen's performance. The website documented what it claimed was low morale among the faculty and severe mismanagement because of Swearingen's leadership."

In the summer of 2002, according to ''The Pow Wow,'' ULM economics professor John Scott was revealed as the anonymous "Truth At ULM" author. Scott said that one of his reasons for creating the site two years ago originated from a meeting held between forty faculty members and Swearingen, ''the Pow Wow'' reported.

Scott said that one of his reasons for creating the site two years ago originated from a meeting held between forty faculty members and Swearingen, ''the Pow Wow'' reported. According to Scott, Swearingen informed the faculty that budget cuts would be taking place in their salaries, but subsequently contradicted himself by telling the media that no such cuts would occur. Scott said faculty in attendance, himself included, were 'frustrated' not only at Swearingen’s remarks, but also that no one among them were willing to come forward with their side of the story. "That unwillingness to come forward stemmed from fear of retribution by the former administration," Scott said.
