Thanks for your work on these sites. I wanted to bring attention to an edit I put up (under Generalist 2017) pointing out what many of my colleagues felt to be a racially-coded job ad (the Penn State lecturer job). I posted my comment here on the wiki because it is one of the only spaces where academics--especially those of us who occupy vulnerable positions, whether graduate students, contingent faculty, or minority-status faculty--can make a critique. Similar critiques appear under the notes of other job postings, such as under the NYU Romanticism job this year.

It appears that a user deleted my comment, which seems to be an aggressive silencing of marginalized perspectives. Neither myself nor my colleagues who feel the same way about the ad feel comfortable getting into a deleting / reposting war with the other user. Can you do anything as an admin to help?
