Word on the Street

 * Have you seen that the Department of French, Hispanic and Italian Studies at The University of British Columbia is now seeking candidates having "a specialization in the acquisition of Italian as a Second or Foreign Language and experience in using and developing language instruction technology on different platforms" for an assistant professor position? Last academic year they needed candidates having "a specialization within the period from the 18th to the 21st century in Italian Literature and Culture," and eventually cancelled the search. And now what? A totally new position? Not very serious. First of all they should refund all candidates who applied last year. Thought they were more serious. How ridiculous! Chapeau, UBC!!!
 * It looks like they've blended together elements from both job searches they ran last year and rolled them into one job for this year - did no one get hired in the language-track job either last year?
 * I know someone who was interviewed for it but had a very unpleasant experience. No, apparently no one got hired. Weird...
