College of Charleston - Assistant Professor of Music, Piano (Deadline: Oct. 15)

 * Sept. 9: It's probably best NOT to apply for this job.  They're dealing with the reprecussions of a serious sexual abuse/misconduct scandal:   http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/charleston/cofc-piano-prof-resigns-after-intensive-sexual-misconduct-investigation/Content?oid=4677998
 * Sept. 13: I fail to see the logic in the above statement.  One person's alleged wrongdoing has no bearing on another person's capabilities.
 * Sept. 13. If you can't see that a scandal like that is bad news all around and that it will severely inhibit anyone's ability to recruit a studio and promote the program, then you probably shouldn't be applying for college jobs in the first place. How many high school football players are clamoring to go to Penn State?
 * First of all, I am not applying for a college job, as I already have one.  I am a tenured piano professor at a Big 10 university. Secondly, I would venture to say that football players are not clamoring to go to Penn State (not my school) because of the NCAA sanctions.  It is probably the safest place to send your child now, since they are most likely incredibly careful and playing extremely by the book. Finally, just to clarify: I have never met the professor in question at Charleston. I wish whomever gets the job all the best and I am absolutely positive that no one will question that person's integrity based on another person's short comings.  And if they did, then I wouldn't want them in my studio anyway.
 * Congratulations on your many wonderful accomplishments!
 * Sept. 16: whoa! Let's all please remember that anonymous comments don't necessarily accurately convey tone. This is a forum to create transparency in the job market and for helpful (and civil) discussion about open positions. The goal is for everyone to land a great job. Let's get back to the task at hand...
 * This would be Enrique Graf's previous position.
