NOTES:
*Also posted at [[Comparative 2018]]
*In this post, the date given is "30 October"; on the application page, they say "23 October." And in their original Job Information List ad, they gave no date at all (if I remember correctly). So I'm really confused about this position.... when exactly did the search committee move towards review, and how is a candidate supposed to plan their submission? Seems like they want some to fall through the cracks.
*Any word about campus visits from NCF? The committee indicated that they would be sending out invitations between mid and late January. Thanks!
*Received word from SC that they have made decisions about candidates and are inviting them to campus (likely able to offer the position to someone at the end of the month). 
:*Did you write them to inquire or receive some kind of email? I've heard nothing since response to thank you following interview. 
:*To Above: It was a response to an inquiry I made. Finalists have been invited, but the committee still would like to keep other potential candidates available should those finalists not work out.
