- Received nice rejection email. (12/9)
- Invite for campus visit rec'd (12/9)
- Not everyone who is not on-campus has received a rejection. (12/17)
- There is a developing rumor from connected people that this is a farce search, where a candidate has been identified already in advance and the search is for propriety's sake. (12/31)
- Intriguing. Save for naming names, any actual evidence of this? (1/1)
- Cannot without naming names. (1/2)

Old Dominion University -- Military History Assistant Professor
- Application deadline: December 15
- rec'd letter stating committee will speak with selected candidates in early January (12/23)
- Does this mean they're by-passing the AHA?
- yes
- New Wrinkle, this was an open specialty job--there is a NEW job at ODU on highered jobs for American Military History and Virginia History. They had been looking for VA history in another search. I am an American Military type who applied, BUT no VA history. I would say they decided to change the nature of the search. They have a deadline of 3/15 on this job.
- Could it be that they are hiring for two positions? I ask because they initially asked for a military syllabus, but now they'd like a Virgina syllabus. I'm a military but non-American type--hate to think that I'm now out of the running and can't reapply!
- In my view, you could be okay. Perhaps, they got another budget line. I know I am not, or I would have heard someting. I applied for another job there a few years and I wondered if they did not have someone in mind at the time. They asked me a question it would have been VERY HARD for someone in my era to answer--easy for another era. The person they hired was from that other era. ODU is almost done with the other hire that had the VA history tag--one of the person who posted as having an interview did not have a VA specialty.
