NOTES & QUERIES:


 * What is the problem with this department? I am tempted to apply, but being aware of the fact that 3 tenured assistant professors left whithin 5 years,  I am not sure I want to be there although the tenure aspect is very appealing. Any clue?
 * It's a very nice and congenial department with some great teachers and some excellent researchers.  I don't know about the third prof. but the two first assistant professors received very good offers from two of the top Francophone Studies programs in the nation. So that is definitely not the department's fault.

Word on the Street

 * The JobList is out. It is a rather dire year. +1 Let's hope it gets better with age.
 * Well, someone is all doom and gloom.
 * Well, with this market, if you're not doom and gloom you're either in denial, or you know more than we do. So, what's your secret?
 * Does anyone know at what time on Friday the MLA typically update the job list?
 * Should be updated by noon Eastern time.
