Market Rumors: Summary Information

Readers will note that the expanding summary table still contains many gaps. We'd like the information presented here to be as complete as possible, even if that involves details about interviews after the fact. We've already had one academic contact us about using the data for an analysis of interview and hiring patterns in the discipline. We think this is an intriguing idea, but that kind of thing will only be possible if the Rumor Mill's information is both accurate and comprehensive.

• Our ability to assess rumors in the absence of documentation -- e.g., forwarded departmental emails, information from members of commmittees, or websites with lists of candidates -- is fairly limited. Such information will causes us to rate a rumor as "confirmed." Second-hand collaboration we consider to be reliable will be coded as "likely." Evidence based on commentators who vouch for the basis of their rumors will be treated as "possible." All other information will be designated as "unconfirmed." • The "Accuracy of Information" heading doesn't distinguish between the status of the search in question and the names of candidates. In the absence of named candidates, this assessment refers to the status of the search. In the presence of named candidates, it refers to the candidate list. • If a name appears in the "denouement" column,then this information refers to a confirmed hire. We do not post the names of candidates who have "merely" received offers. • Individuals may, at their discretion, contact us directly via email -- ir rumor mill at gmail dot com -- with rumors, denials, or confirmations of information. We promise to respect the privacy of all correspondents. • This is not an official list. Do not take any information found on the IR Rumor Mill as accurate. Caveat emptor. Hic sunt dracones. We assume no responsibility for the use or misuse of information found on the IR Rumor Mill.
