The New School- Assistant Professor, Latin American History
 * Has anyone heard anything from the new school? acknowledgement of application? Interview or anything?
 * I had a fright a couple days ago: They emailed me to say they had received my letters of rec and on-line app, but had never gotten my CV, writing sample... basically all the materials I had emailed. I checked and had sent it to the proper email but nevertheless re-sent it. After pestering original person with several emails, they finally responded saying all my materials were in order. Goes to show they have received a lot of applications, and are only now starting to sort through them. (12/18)
 * AHA interviews scheduled (12/21) X 4
 * Any word, AHA interviewees?
 * No word yet.
 * Heard a rumor that they already have someone groomed for this position and they're just running the search as a formality--anybody know anything?
 * I don't know whether the search is just a formality or not, but it is true that they have someone who has already been lecturing there for years.
 * Hard to know -- even the person doesn't know, but the position does appear to be tailored for him. But someone else at New School told me it was a serious search. In any case, I haven't heard a thing, so I assume I was not invited to campus as of 1/27.
 * I heard that the campus visits have already been scheduled.
