Discussion/Rumors/Speculation

 * 6/12/12 - Why are the one-year jobs being posted here too? Isn't this page for the upcoming round of jobs? Anything that starts in August of 2012 should be posted over at the 2011-2012 page, not this one, and certainly not both (who has time to update the same position in two places?). Anyone opposed to my removing the fall 2012 start dates from this page and keeping them on the 2011-2012 page?
 * I went ahead and took down positions that begin in Aug. 2012. Those positions should be tracked on the appropriate page: Physical Anthropology 2011-12.
 * 7/4/12 - I agree that jobs starting in Fall 2012 should not be posted here.
