      • [How did you all submit these? Just update the existing sections in Interfolio or is there a "re-submit" button somewhere I should be clicking?]
      • I just updated my Interfolio sections. I don't believe you have the option to re-submit in the platform. My understanding is that your file is updated as you edit.
    • Fellow people who were asked to submit additional materials: any updates? (Nov. 30)
      • Nothing yet here (11/30); Still nothing for me after additional materials submit (1/13)
      • Yeah, me neither, still in the same boat of no updates (12/7); still nothing as of yet (01/23).
      • Crickets (1/17)
    • Rejection "We regret to inform you that your dossier was not among the selected finalists for the position." (12/13)
    • So they're heading onwards to campus invites and are skipping Zoom interviews, or was this section updated prematurely? (12/14)
      • I changed the header back to ADDITIONAL MATERIALS, as we have absolutely no data to suggest that this search has moved onwards to campus invites. It would be great to be keep this place an evidence-based forum. Happy holidays to all. (12/23)
    • Rejection, same as above (1/19) x 2
      • If you don't mind me asking: Had either of you been asked to submit additional materials back in November?
    • For anyone who cares: As of February 13, 2022, I have not received a rejection letter from Wash U, and my efforts to contact the search chair and his assistant have gone without any kind of a response. Deeply unimpressed by the administration of this search and the lack of collegiality extended, including to those of us who were asked to submit additional materials in November 2022. More broadly, I am also wondering if this thread has ever considered keeping track of search chairs who totally ghost.
      • Unfortunately there are search committees who ghost FINALISTS. It is absurd. Re. your last question, you can put these concerns here: Universities to fear
      • At many universities a search (even the chair's actions and communication) is bound to HR policy. Often they're not allowed to convey anything about the status of a search until it is completed. It's cold, I know, but super common.
      • ^^ Yes, this is true. I was referring to offers being made and accepted and committees still not notifying the other finalists. It's normal (and understandable) to not hear anything until contracts are signed since you are technically still in the running, even if it's unlikely for committees to return to the first-round candidates.
      • Thanks so much for sharing these sentiments and offering the "universities to fear" link. I think what is especially jarring in this instance is that Wash U appears to have gone through two separate rounds of rejections (if not more), one in December and another in January. Also re; HR, every other institution I have been in touch with (public and private btw) has at least alerted me to the fact that the search is ongoing. Also, every other university that asked me for additional materials provided a clear timeline for when they wanted additional items uploaded. WashU did not from the jump, so my preliminary sense is that the chaos at play surpasses HR policies. All best to anyone reading this who is interviewing for and/or visiting the campus for an interview; the department's communication practices seem to be disorderly at best.
    • Recieved second rejection email (3/6) - In it is an apology for "duplicity," so I'm not sure whether to believe it or not.....
    • Also received the rejection email for the first time ever after the additional material request. I really curious if they are doing the search properly for real.
    • Or you know, Ian Bogost decided he simply had better things to think about than making sure the hiring went smoothly/efficiently

      • Updates?

  • If people want to be able to track updates on posts, why not post them to this page before the deadline? Posting them right after the deadline has passed and down in the "word of mouth" is weird...
    • Agree. Seems like a better use of the board if people make more of an effort to add posts they want to track prior to the deadline in the correct place. If one falls through the cracks and doesn't get added and then later someone wants to ask about it here, that makes sense, but I'm not sure sure making a habit of that posting them here right after deadlines passed is the best use of the wiki. Just my opinion.
      • Bro people come here for info not judgment
      • not as weird as getting mad about how people use a crowdsourced wiki 💀
      • imagine getting upsetero over people trying to find a job in an industry and market that literally shares no information with the applicants in real time. couldn't be me, but that's just my opinion. you're welcome to speak to the wiki's manager, though.
