Edward Waters C (until filled)

 * Where is this job listed?
 * No idea, but trust me, you're better off going to your local community college and applying.
 * (I second the above comment! This "College" is a disaster)
 * This was just listed today on HigherEdJobs.com []
 * And they're looking for a chair, I guess, but they don't want to give the name. Hence the "Confidential" institution in this ad, which until today, ended with the same "Edward Waters College is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Employer." Bad sign.
