 * This is a question intended more for the search committee than for job seekers: In what universe does it make sense for in-coming, junior faculty to write "a vision to manage and grow Albright's Latin American Studies program" when the program already has 17 associated faculty? Judging from the website the program at Albright is already well-developed (at least when compared to comparable institutions) and has many active faculty. Honestly, what this question most reminds me of is the sort of spec work that often gets foisted on job seekers in creative fields outside academia
