Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Deadline: December 3, 2010
Field(s): Applied Linguistics and Second Language Literacy
Notes:
How can these posts remain, and the one expressing respect for the school and faculty disappear? Who are you people who write such things? I'm pretty appalled and losing complete respect for this wiki, which I thought would be about professional conversation and exchange.
Note from Admin: someone (using a variety of different user names, but seems to be the same person) apparently has a grudge against this school and thus keeps erasing information and posting insulting and vulgar phrases here. Thus, I am putting a special watch on this entry and users who delete information and insult other posters will have their edits reverted and will be temporarily blocked from the site. Please be respectful of others on this site. If you have special concerns about this University, the Talk page is the appropriate place to express them. Thanks. Una74 22:34, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Invited for videoconference interview. [11/24] [x3, 11/29]
Any updates on this search? Had a videoconference in early December and have not heard anything since, which I am assuimg this means they have invited other candidates to campus. Any news would be appreciated. [Response: I also had videoconference interview in Dec. and have not heard anything since then. I don't know if they've invited people for campus visits or not][x2]
Received rejection letter today. Time for a new rubber stamp, no? [1/22] [x2]
I haven't received the rejection letter yet, and wasn't contacted for a videoconference. At this point I don't know what's going on. Does anyone have the same situation? Any updates on this search would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't received a rejection yet either, though I did have a videoconference in the early part of December. I guess either they're having a tough time making decisions, or they've invited the finalists to campus and are holding off on the rest of the rejections until they've finalized things with their top choice(s). [1/28]
I'm in the same situation. Video interview, then no contact - including no rejection letter. The buildup to the video interview was quite positive, and the logistics of the interview itself (not Skype, but from the technology center on my campus) seemed a little too complex to be repeated by them more than a few times, so I can't imagine a long list of 12 or more. It's odd that none of us have received any notice, though I agree with your assessment above. [1/29]
They have done at least two campus visits already.
Thanks for the update. Best of luck to those still in the running!

Washington State University
Field: ESL Composition Professor
Rejection by email: 12/27/10
Rejection letter: 1/3/10. Hmmmmmm. I wonder what the difference is. None, I suppose.
Perhaps a reject by mail is more honorable because they sacrifice a tree and a stamp for the purpose of telling you to "go away." The email is just lousy bandwith.
