University of Kentucky Rumors

[Anonymous 2005-11-28] Little dated, but Susan Hyde turned down an offer from Kentucky.
[Anonymous 2005-12-12] A third candidate turned down an offer from Kentucky.
[Anonymous 2005-12-14] Kentucky has only had to rejections, not three, with one being Susan Hyde. They are leaning towards going back into their pool.
[Anonymous 2005-12-21] I just heard that another candidate rejected an offer from Kentucky -- their fourth rejected offer
[Anonymous 2006-01-09] I have heard from two different sources that Kentucky is going back into its pool.
[Anonymous 2006-01-09] I heard second or third hand that someone turned down a senior hire at Kentucky. Is this true? Which search? Reason?
[Anonymous 2006-01-09] From a good friend in the department. Kentucky rejected a counter offer made by someone for one of the senior spots. The counter offer was way out of line for this person's rank.
[2006-02-01] Kentucky closed the senior search and is looking at two junior instead, according to people in the department.
[2006-02-10] Kentucky is brining 3 new people out in the next few weeks.
[2006-02-13] Kentucky has contacted the next group they are bringing out.
[2006-02-14] Dan Morey is interviewing at Kentuck in the next two weeks.
[2006-02-22] Can anyone confirm the following story? Apparently, Kentucky interviewed 6 people, made 4 offers, and has no acceptances. They are now interviewing 3 more. [All of this came out on this website above.] Well, I just heard the craziest thing: since two slots are still unfilled, they are going to make an immediate offer to any of the 3 new candidates who pass muster, without waiting for all of the interviews to be completed. Is this true? Is it even legal? I guess at least you know that, if you get an interview, you get an offer!
[2006-02-22] This discussion about Kentucky is a good example of the danger of these blogs. It is all based on false information. First, Kentucky has made three offers, not four. Yes, they were all turned down, but one was to Susan Hyde and the other two were to people who were in tenure track jobs. Second, Kentucky is NOT making an offer after only interviewing the first of the three additional candidates. That information is obviously being spread by someone who is trying to ruffle some feathers. Third, the Kentucky search is actually two searches - a Comparative search and an IR search. Kentucky initially interviewed 3 for each field, made a total of three offers, and now has invited three more. The first candidate was a Comparativist, the second two IR. The prevailing view in the department is that the first candidate is not competing with the next two, hence the department was given PERMISSION to make an offer to the first candidate, but they decided to wait untile more people came in precisely because of this blog. The moral of this story is - don't believe everything you read on this blog and don't read too much into why a department does or does not make an offer to you.
[2006-02-24] I do not know who is posting all of this "inside information" about Kentucky but your blog's source is (intentionally or not) misinforming you about what is happening at UK. I will not bother to rebut all the garbage in here, but I will say that (1) UK chose to go after some superb people in the Fall, even though they were longshots, because of a consensual commitment to research excellence, and (2) The people being interviewed this Spring have been invited NOT because of a perception that the lines were at risk but because they were strong scholars who had been on the department's radar from the beginning.
[2006-02-26] Do we know what's happening at Clemson and Auburn yet? I heard they made offers in American Politics. Do they plan to fill their other jobs too? Is it true that Morey and Bodea are interviewing at Kentucky next week? Or has Morey taken the GSU job? Anyone know the interview list at VTech?
[2006-02-26] Regarding the 2:25 PM post above: I know Bodea interviewed at Kentucky in the fall. She must have turned them down without another offer because she recently accepted at MSU according to a post above. I have no idea on Morey.
[2006-02-27] Regarding the 7:30 PM February 26 post above: Kentucky interviewed six but, depending on which claim you believe, made offers to three or four people. I don't see how anything "must" have happened with regard to one visitor. It's probably not safe to assume something
[2006-02-28] Just so the correct information is out there... Kentucky sent two offers out late last week. Both are in IR.
[2006-03-01] Kentucky hasn't made any offers yet to the latest set of candidates. This blog has deteriorated into a complete joke, but I suspect most people recognize this by now.
[2006-03-01] I have no idea why someone would choose to post that Kentucky has made two offers when it's a total fabrication. But you can't blame internal confusion caused by "in-fighting" for that sort of misinformation when the decision was scheduled for a faculty meeting that hadn't happened yet.
[2006-03-05] One of my graduate students interviewed in the latest round for the Kentucky job. Word I received was that their dean and the department disagreed on 1 or 2 candidates, and they are unsure of what to do next (as of Friday).
[2006-03-05] I'm in the department at UK and I don't think the last post is true at all (about the disagreement over 1-2 candidates). Things are moving forward.
[2006-03-05] The one-week delay at Kentucky resulted because all three candidates were superb and we would have preferred to make offers to all of them. The department ultimately cannot hire three people this year, though, so two offers will go out shortly. I expect that the erroneous 5:00 AM March 05 post came from our stalker and not from one of the professionals who mentored our three excellent candidates.[2006-03-15] Dan Morey (Iowa) has accepted a job with the University of Kentucky. http://myweb.uiowa.edu/dmorey/

Dartmouth College Rumors

[Anonymous 2005-11-21] I heard that Jennifer Lind and Branislav S. from UCSD are interviewing at Dartmouth.
[Anonymous 2005-12-05] Dartmouth is also interviewing Ann Towns (Minnesota PhD/Göteborg University Post-doc).
[Anonymous 2005-12-26] Rumor has it that Dartmouth (IR) extended an offer to Bridget Coggins.
[Anonymous 2005-12-27] I heard interviews still occurring in January at Dartmouth
[Anonymous 2005-12-28] Coggins did get an offer. No information on any other details (acceptance, other interviews, or anything else).
[Anonymous 2006-01-17] Bridget Coggins (Ohio State) has accepted the position at Dartmouth.
[2006-03-08] Dartmouth extended three additional IR offers: Jennifer Lind, Branislav Slanchev, and Darryl Press
[2006-03-16] Dartmouth just hired Jennifer Lind and Darryl Press.
I heard this from a current grad student at Penn, who heard this directly from Press, so it's not just a rumor.
Dartmouth also still has an offer extended to Slantchev. They now have something like 8 IR people. Didn't they hire Bridget Coggins this year, too??
[2006-03-23] Dartmouth sources say Slantchev is deciding but they are very optimistic.

American University (Intl Comm) Rumors

[Anonymous 2005-10-17] AU has interviewed two candidates this far: Christian Sandvig (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Geoffrey Herrera (Temple University)

US Army War College Strategic Studies Institute

[Department Website][APSA elisting(requires membership)] The U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) seeks a resident visiting research professor for the 2006-2007 academic year with a possibility of renewal for a second year. This is a research position with no teaching and very limited administrative duties. The successful candidate will advance their own research agenda while simultaneously producing SSI studies on relevant strategic topics which will be distributed to military leaders, government officials, civilian academics, and the global strategic community. This position is authorized under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act and is fully funded. The visitor will remain an employee of his or her current educational institution at his or her current salary. The Army War College reimburses the current employing institution for salary and benefits. The War College offers generous travel and research support, and may also provide relocation assistance to the successful candidate. SSI serves as a bridge between the Army and the strategic, policy, and scholarly communities. SSI faculty influence national strategy via rigorous, policy-focused research, publication, and presentation of findings to government officials, academics, and members of the news media. In addition to the excellent Army War College library, the adjoining Military History Institute archive, and the assets of nearby Washington D.C., SSI faculty draw on the expertise of colleagues who are active duty and retired military officers, members of the Foreign Service, representatives from the Intelligence Community, and civilian scholars. SSI’s contacts in the Army staff and elsewhere in the defense policy community provide visiting professors an opportunity to observe the defense policy process from within – as well as the chance to influence it. For more on SSI, see http://www.StrategicStudiesInstitute.army.mil/ The U.S. Army War College is located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a small, historic town 20 miles west of Harrisburg, the state capital. It is within an easy drive of a wide range of recreational, artistic, and shopping opportunities including Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Hershey, and the Amish country. The region abounds with outstanding outdoor activities. Local public schools are considered very good. For more information on the Carlisle area see http://www.visithhc.com/carcity.shtml. The successful candidate for this position must have a strong record of scholarly research and publication, and the potential for drawing important policy and strategy implications from their work. We are particularly interested in research on the interagency process, American grand strategy, counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism, and net assessment, but any topic with importance for American defense policy will be considered. Primary criteria for selection include the likelihood of producing studies relevant to SSI?s core audience, and research interests that fill a gap in SSI?s staff expertise. The successful candidate must be eligible to return to his or her employing institution following their appointment at SSI. Applicants may not be students or employees of for-profit consulting firms, and must be US citizens. To apply, mail, fax, or email a c.v. or resume, one sample publication, a summary of your research agenda, and a one paragraph proposal for an SSI study to: Dr. Stephen Biddle Strategic Studies Institute U.S. Army War College Carlisle Barracks, PA 17013-5244 (717) 245-4126, fax 245-3820 email: stephen.biddle@carlisle.army.mil The deadline for applications is 2 January 2006. Material received after that date cannot be considered. SSI is an equal opportunity employer. Women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
