Unfortunately, I was one of the members of the English discipline who was denied tenure (and given a terminal contract), despite having full approval of my dept, my dean, the tenure and promotion committee, and the VPAA. English has been a thriving major at the College, and we've been decimated.
Today the Board at St. Norbert College wrote to deny all applications for tenure and promotion. 4 of the 5 faculty still up for tenure were in the humanities, and 2 of the 5 were in my discipline of English, which means humanities has now lost 18 positions, and English has gone from 8 faculty to 3.
Very excited about Victorian Poetry’s new Early Career Essay Prize! Deadline for submissions is June 30. Details below! Please share widely — and encourage untenured scholars working on great projects to submit their work!
Huge congrats, Kyle!!! 🖤
This was written about pundits but profs should think hard about giving space to others as they push into their 50s & 60s; the same reasons apply
I think I just had a shitty view. Or my glasses were overkill. WHATEVER, I have the most hysterical recording of 100+ kids screaming joyful bloody murder and it’s pretty great.
Why is this like reading a Scott novel? NOW WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THE PLOT! Nevermind, just another prefatory framework.
John lol.
Man, I have some regrets now.
