• Any news? (10/17)
• None 10/17 but if you look at the ad it seems like they're trying to hire their VAP.
• 10/23 Nothing yet but the comment above makes no sense -- ad specifically says it's a TT position.
• The TT job description fits very closely the profile of the VAP already employed by the department
• Nothing here either. Even if they hire their current VAP, they would still conduct other interviews, though, yes
• Yes, even if they're going to just hire internally, they will go through the whole process knowing they're probably just going with the VAP.
