If you go to their English Dept. website's calendar, all of the candidates' job talks are scheduled in with names and positions. None are for the CL job, just their other searches. I'm wondering if they cancelled this search again. A- Post MLA rejection letter said they selected candidates, but you are right about the website: http://www.cas.sc.edu/engl/calendar.html Who knows...

3/5: Has anyone physically set foot on USC's campus? I heard they sent out rejection letters and scheduled campus visits, but that 1/2 of the MLA interviewees haven't gotten either response. What is actually true with them? Have there been rejection letters (after the MLA interview) and/or campus visits?

A: I did get a rejection letter after MLA. Maybe they are keeping their options open until they figure out some internal problems.
