When you accepted an interdisciplinary appointment, you did understand you had to fully satisfy the disciplinary expectations of each discipline involved, yes?

When I was Chair, I had to review the student evaluations for undergrad courses taught by PhD candidates. Some of the students’ comments were so offensive, I began telling Instructors not to read their evaluations. No employer gets to require you to read anonymous insults.

Just because we won’t tell you how much money you’ll have or how many faculty lines you’ll have doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to plan for the future. Just make sure not to go over budget and cover all your department’s instructions needs.

Remember that kid you gave a “C” to in your state politics course? He is now in the state legislature and is about to end tenure.

Our new faculty recruitment strategy is to recruit liberal faculty from red states who are OK with taking a pay cut in terms of real disposable income and willing to pay more in taxes to escape their red state oppression.

nothing more american than having to opt out of the world baseball classic because of health insurance problems
Kershaw had a problem with insurance coverage, per sources. His back injury history was a significant factor.

Please remember as an academic, your job is to ruin the Super Bowl - and the commercials - for the rest of America. Please over analyze everything.

We tried to sell faculty personal data to advertisers but when they realized our salaries were so low, they were no longer interested

We know you stepped down as chair in 2019. We still need you to approve travel requests and IRB submissions. No one can figure out how to change the approval routing.
