Anyone could teach Victor Mair how to use a virtual background during Zoom interviews? The table behind his back was filled with trash. This is very disrespectful, and indicative of how much "a big deal" cares about junior scholars.

--Co-ask: Any updates from Rutgers (1/11)?
--Nothing here (1/20)
1/27 Finalists have been chosen for campus visits (not myself); all S/SE Asia candidates on the finalist list I heard
--Wow! Aren't I glad I didn't waste my time applying to this place. If the committee just wanted S/SE Asia, why not just make that clear in the job ad? Why waste our time (and theirs) with apps from East Asianists (for example), when you won't even consider them. Soooo infuriating!
---I believe they made that point in the earlier ad, at least said they prefer S/SE
