Disclosure: I work at Penn State. I don’t believe it is wise to engage Michael Berube. His pattern is to change the subject and then insult you. The “Prove to me I’m a bully!” attitude with virtual chest thumping, doesn’t merit a response. Anyone can read what he has written and what was written about it, and can make their own judgments.

Academic job searches are stressful. What do adjuncts, not t-t, or junior faculty need to vent about? They may vent about a tenured professor calling them stupid. They may vent when a tenured professor goes after an outspoken woman, who happens to be pregnant. Many don’t have tenure and need a space to say these things. This is one of the best things the wiki offers. I wish people would share more often about this kind of behavior. Even the comments that seem to be Michael Berube sockpuppets tell a tale. Thanks.
