IR Rumor Mill

The End?

2011-04-20T18:16:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. As you've no doubt noticed, we've been nearly AWOL over the last few months. The reason is simple: we simply haven't had time to maintain the blog.

We're also not sure about the future of the IR Rumor Mill. With the help of amazing faculty and students, we've been able to keep the IR Rumor Mill a good source of information about the job market, but it increasingly feels like the time of this blog is passing. The wiki has proven about as reliable as our own tally board. PSJR may be a cesspool, but it enjoys "network effects" that we can't hope to match.

We've made noises about this before. The last time we questioned the point of continuing the site, we had a great deal of encouragement from our readers to push onward. But that was before the team running the Mill stopped -- to be blunt -- doing an administrative job.

We'd like to hear from you -- either in comments or via email -- about what you think we ought to do. We'd like to know if anyone is willing to take over. We're also thinking of conducting a survey, both to help us decide what to do with the site and to use if we ever write anything about our experience with the IR Rumor Mill. If you have any thoughts about that, please also let us know.

All the best, The IR Rumor Mill Team

Is the IR Rumor Mill dead? More like currently resting. We hope to get things up and running within the next week. Until then, feel free to post here on any matter related to job searches, the Mill, etc.

2010-2011 Fellowships

2010-02-11T07:35:00.000-08:00

An open thread for posting fellowship information: solicitations for applications, rumors about the status of selection processes, and the like. We'll move comments about fellowships from other threads to here, but it might take us a little while to catch them all.

09-10 Job Market Rumors

2009-09-10T16:55:00.000-07:00

Because it's duck season.

2009-2010 Board

2009-06-09T09:02:00.000-07:00

We've recent put up both a pre-season commment thread and one addressed to loose ends, the future of the Rumor Mill, and so forth.

Now we've added a board for the 2009-2010 "market." We're updating as new jobs come in to APSA e-jobs, but if we miss something please let us know there. Remember that the comments section of the board should NOT be used for job rumors. For now, those should go on the pre-season thread, as they won't involve interviews and the like.

As always, these posts/threads are available via the nav bar on the right (under the "recent comments" widget).

New Comment System

2009-06-04T08:43:00.001-07:00

We just changed over to JS-Kit comments from Blogger. Our hope is that this will make the comment threads easier to follow and to navigate.

JS-Kit is a bit buggy when it comes to updating the number of comments listed under a post, however, so you may see "0 Comments" when, in fact, readers have already left multiple comments.

We've also added a recent comments widget to the navbar, which should make it easier to see changes across multiple discussion threads.

JS-Kit does have an analytic feature, but we don't think it displays IPs. If it does, we will have an open discussion about whether to revert to the old system. We honestly have zero interest in knowing the identities of our posters, and I think that those of you have emailed us appreciate how careful we are about preserving confidentiality.

UPDATE: as of now, JS-Kit's analytic functionality is ideal; it allows us to see the number of people viewing comments, but not their IP addresses! So we have some idea of the cite traffic (a lot) but no way for any malicious person to discover the location that a comment was posted from.

Back to blogger comments.

Preseason Thread

2009-06-03T10:33:00.001-07:00

Pretty much what it sounds like: a place for discussions of the 2009-2010 market, strategies for getting a job, strategies for coping with the process, etc. etc.

Loose Ends and Pre-Season Thoughts

2009-06-02T18:44:00.001-07:00

Not long ago someone posted a request for us to "fill in" the Big Board for last year's job ~~carnage~~ market. We think that's a great idea, particularly if, as rumor has it, the wiki is an unreliable mess.

But we also remember what happened when we made a plea for our readers to help us with such a task last year: almost no one stepped forward to help out.

Please don't make that the case again this year. We're counting on you.

Here's the plan: we've created a duplicate of the Big Board with a clean comments section. Please help us complete the board by leaving information there.

Now, on to other matters.

The major development on the rumor mill front in 2007-2008 was the advent of the wiki. At the time, we asked for opinions about whether we should shutter the mill. The overwhelming consensus was "no," and we must say that you were right. This year not only did the wiki prove problematic, but a significant number of its rumors came from us.

The major development this year has been the advent of Political Science Job Rumors. A rather lively place, in our opinion. And we find ourselves wondering yet again: has the Rumor Mill lost its raison d'être? Should we continue?

To be honest, running the thing during job season is kind of a pain. A big reason is that we make sporadic efforts to contact faculty and job candidates about rumors we receive (we didn't do this as frequently as we should have in 2008-2009, and if we continue we'll aim to ramp up the effort). On the other hand, we think we're a somewhat cleaner, friendlier place than the message boards, and that probably counts for something. What do you think?

Finally, if we do continue, what can we do better? What should we change? And no, we won't ditch moderation.

The Economy and the Job Market

Share your angst, your sage advice, or whatever seems appropriate. (Thanks to P.L. for the suggestion.)

New Job Rumors Thread

2008-11-10T18:56:00.001-08:00

By popular demand

Happy Halloween!!

2008-10-31T15:24:00.001-07:00

Sent to us by a reader.

Welcome!

2008-09-09T20:12:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the IR Rumor Mill. If this is your first time here, please familiarize yourself our policies as they have evolved in recent years. It will make things easier down the road.

If you want to continue with a discussion from an earlier set of threads, we've posted a list of 2007-2008 threads on many topics. This list extends through the summer of 2008. If you want to keep your queries active, you should re-post them in the new threads below.

We've finally gotten around to adding labels to our posts. This should make searching the Rumor Mill easier.

If you have any comments or suggestions on the Mill itself, you should post them on the relevant thread.

This year we expect to build the "Big Board" organically, i.e., to list jobs when rumors start to come in. If anyone wants to volunteer some time and send us an HTML-formatted table with active job listings, feel free to do so.

If you want to contact us, email us at ir11rumor11mill@gmail.com. Don't forget to leave out the 11s (as in, "these amps go up to") for actual delivery!

2008-2009 Job Rumors (September)

2008-09-09T19:52:00.000-07:00

This is what it all comes down to: the kickoff thread to post job rumors for the 2008-2009 season. Remember the rules (and to check them if you're confused), such as:

1. all comments are moderated;

2. we seek confirmation before posting rumors concerning lateral moves;

3. source your rumors, e.g., "I overheard someone in the hall saying that his friend heard from another fellow at Belfer that her friend at Big State University knows the administrative assistant at Small Liberal Arts College who said that they were interviewing...." or, more likely, "source: the candidate";

4. keep it clean.

Also, remember that we sometimes inadvertently violate our own policies, that we appreciate emailed rumors, that we will always keep our sources confidential, and that threatening to sue us only makes us mad.

At the risk of repetition, we note that no one has a "legal right" to keep information about his or her interview a secret. If you're tempted to claim otherwise, consider a simple fact: if we find out about your interview, it usually means it already isn't much of a secret.

We often try to accommodate reasonable requests to hold information. We believe, moreover, that our attempts to operate in good faith account for the high-quality information we receive. We are very good about honoring requests to hold rumors by people who send us those rumors.

But do not assume that our team is made up entirely of powerless first-year graduate students (although it might be... we're not saying) and that making absurd threats against us won't engender blowback. We know some people who are very good with voodoo dolls.

2008-2009 Job Market Discussion (September)

2008-09-09T19:40:00.000-07:00

This is the official kickoff thread for discussion of the 2008-2009 job market. Recent chatter at the IR Rumor Mill has focused on whether or not there are fewer jobs than in recent years, and, if so, why this is the case. The current consensus answers are "yes" and "a slower economy."

Feel free to discuss this, or any other rumors about the general character of the job market, here.

New users should familiarize themselves with our policies as they have evolved in recent years

2008-2009 Fellowship Rumors (September)

2008-09-09T19:39:00.001-07:00

It may seem a bit early, but so are an increasing number of fellowship deadlines.

New users should familiarize themselves with our policies as they have evolved in recent years

Coffee Shop (September 2008)

2008-09-09T19:37:00.000-07:00

The Coffee Shop is a place for discussions that don't fit into any of our other categories. This is the official kickoff "Coffee Shop" thread for the 2008-2009 job rush.

New users should familiarize themselves with our policies as they have evolved in recent years

Queries, Comments, and Advice on Stalking the Wild Job (September 2008)

2008-09-09T19:34:00.002-07:00

This is the official 2008-2009 job market kickoff thread for questions and answers about the pursuit of a job.

New users should familiarize themselves with our policies as they have evolved in recent years

IR Rumor Mill Discussion (September 2008)

2008-09-09T19:34:00.001-07:00

This is the new official thread for discussion of the IR Rumor Mill itself.

New users should familiarize themselves with our policies as they have evolved in recent years

APSA Job Rumors Thread

2008-08-29T14:27:00.000-07:00

It isn't autumn yet, but the summer discussion's getting long in the tooth. So, on the theory that APSA marks the kickoff of the job scramble, here's a new thread.

Queries, Advice, and Discusson Concerning the Job Hunt (Summer 2008)

2008-08-05T04:55:00.000-07:00

Pretty much what it sounds like. If you've got questions about your application, short interviews at APSA, or whatever, post them here. Experience indicates that people will, in fact, answer them. Whether their answers are any good, however, is subject to debate.

Coffee Shop (Summer 2008)

2008-08-05T04:53:00.000-07:00

This is an open thread, subject to moderation. Anything that doesn't belong in the actual rumors thread or the discussion of the job-hunting process, but does cover the general ground of what's appropriate grist for the mill, should be posted here. Examples include: journal discussions, press discussions, and conference discussions.

Summer Jobs Thread

2008-06-16T18:27:00.001-07:00

Exactly what it looks like....

Spring 2008 Job Rumors

2008-01-12T08:39:00.000-08:00

Because the Fall 2007 thread is really, really long.

Pre-Doc/Post-Doc Rumors and Discussion

Tally Board and Confirmations

2007-12-17T09:18:00.001-08:00

Thanks to those who have emailed us with updates about their status--particularly in terms of offers, acceptances, and declines. The wiki currently reports a lot of information that we don't. This is because we either haven't gotten responses to our queries about the information there or we haven't tracked down the relevant individuals yet. If there's a rumor about you on the wiki, please email us to let us know whether or not it is correct so that we can post that information here.

As always, our email is the name of the blog at gmail.com.

Technical Problems

2007-12-05T18:32:00.000-08:00

We've been having some technical problems with comment moderation. We think they've been straightened out, now, but we're not positive.

Apologies to those of you who have posted comments recently and not seen them show up.

Remember that we don't publish rumors about job acceptances without confirmation. If you've posted a rumor, and haven't seen it show up, that's probably because we haven't been able to verify it yet.

Oh, and to all our readers: happy holidays of all kinds.

IR Rumor Mill Discussion

2007-12-01T18:04:00.001-08:00

We just realized we don't have a current thread for "meta" discussion of the Rumor Mill. Consider this it. One thing that might be worth discussing is our policy on reporting offers. We have not been entirely consistent about it this year, but it is now becoming an issue in comment moderation. This is what we wrote last time around:

Our current policy is not to disclose offers unless that information comes directly from the candidate in question. Job offers involve sensitive information exchanged between schools and prospective employees. A candidate often negotiates with a school over the terms of the contract. Other schools may have reasons to adjust their searches in light of a job offer. These and other reasons strike us as sufficient warrants for treading carefully in this area.

Queries, advice, and discussion concerning the job hunt

2007-10-13T17:24:00.001-07:00

Because of the devolution of the "Job Market Discussion" thread, we're creating two new threads. This is the first.

Return of the Big Board

2007-10-03T10:39:00.001-07:00

We've decided to create a big board for this year's job market. Any technical issues about it should be reported on its comment thread; do not post rumors there. We can't promise regular updates. For those hungry for the latest unfiltered synthetic information, the wiki--with which we have no affiliation--will continue to be your best bet.

It seems like a good time to review some rules, procedures, and requests. Our best sources last year were people--candidates, professors, chairs--who emailed us directly to provide information about scheduled interviews. Those who post in comments about rumors should always specify their source, e.g., "friend of the candidate," "departmental email," "departmental website."

We encourage readers to be proactive with information--that means, in particular, candidates who look here for rumors but won't report their own interviews, as well as faculty who support what we do--but we will not, under any circumstances, post rumors about hiring decisions unless we can independently confirm them. So if you have such a rumor, feel free to post it but realize we will hold its publication until we receive such confirmation.

Be particularly sensitive about rumors involving lateral and senior candidates. We sometimes make mistakes when it comes to moderating those rumors, and remember that false--or even true rumors if reported prematurely--may damage relations between a faculty members and his/her department. As always, we can be reached at irsrumormillh@gmail.com. Don't forget to leave out the "s" for "savings" and the "h" for "hearsay."

Job Market Discussion Thread

2007-09-27T15:56:00.000-07:00

Post queries and speculation about the job market, jobs, and so forth here.

Fall Rumor Thread, the Second

2007-09-27T15:53:00.000-07:00

Post rumors in this thread. Remember the basic norms of the IR Rumor Mill. Please provide sources (or, at least, the nature of the source) for rumors.

Robert Axelrod on Academic Rumor Mills and Gossip Blogs

2007-04-03T13:55:00.000-07:00

In a message sent to Political Science departments, Robert Axelrod, APSA President and eminent political scientist, writes:

In discussions with APSA colleagues, I have learned that a number of private web sites and blogs have emerged recently that are widely used by political scientists, particularly graduate students, to discuss the academic job market. In their best form, such sites afford a new vehicle for the "grapevine" discussions that have always accompanied the academic labor market. However, I have also been shown anonymous postings on these lists making racist, sexist, and homophobic attacks on political scientists. The context makes clear this language is coming from within our discipline. There is little we can do to respond directly to these anonymous postings. We can speak out however. I urge you to stay attentive in the departmental communities you lead to gauge whether there are incivilities in the exchanges among your students and colleagues. Where you hear evidence of them, directly or indirectly, confront this behavior in whatever ways you consider appropriate and best. I truly believe these events are infrequent and at the fringe of our community. But the integrity of our professional exchange is the bedrock of our community. I hope you'll agree with me it is our obligation as leaders of the discipline to sustain the respectful and civil treatment of colleagues.

We heartily endorse Professor Axelrod's concerns. We hope that we have made the IR Rumor Mill relatively free of such vices, and that faculty-members and graduate students will, in recognition of our efforts, continue to aid us as we seek to provide accurate and timely information about developments in the IR job market. We also hope that APSA, or some other institution, will eventually render websites such as our own obsolete by setting up procedures for departments to report on the same information we post here.

Questions

2007-03-29T13:20:00.000-07:00

We haven't updated the summary board in a long time. As many of you know, there is an unmoderated wiki listing comparable information. We've been able to confirm most of the information there, and we've been letting posts on hiring and interviews go through that has information we've confirmed.

So here's the question: how much do people care if we update the "big board"? Also, should we create a new board for post- and pre-docs?

So far, we can only confirm that Belfer, Nuffield College, and Princeton Institute for International and Regional Security have made offers. We believe Brookings has as well.

Winter Comments Thread

2007-02-01T19:42:00.000-08:00

This is the new rumors thread. The "big board" is due for an update, and will receive one shortly.

Our moderator extends a sincere apology to the community. Something isn't working quite right, apparently, in the interaction between our moderator's own account and the email forwarding system for gmail. The upshot: our moderator wasn't aware of a backlog of posts accumulating, and has only recently let a slew of comments through from the last few days.

Also, if anyone is interested in compiling a visiting fellowship list and sending it along, we'd be happy to create a tally board for it.

Updates and Request Again

2006-12-20T09:16:00.000-08:00

In response to requests from the communit, we've moved the "tally board" off the main page. Click here to access it.

• We ask again that people come forward with information about what candidates interviewed where. Given that many of the interview processes are now complete, we don't see any reason for those in the know not to provide relevant information.

• People are posting an increasing number of rumors about hires. If you are in a department that has made a hire, have accepted a job, or can point us towards verifiable (and public) evidence of a hire, please contact us so that we can post the relevant information. Remember that we redact and reject comments that name a hire. Even though we assume our commentators are being honest, we still worry enough about the possibility--and implications--of malfeasance that we will not allow unverifiable claims about hires to appear here.

Updates and a Request

2006-12-12T11:46:00.000-08:00

We've recently been able to update some of the information on the master list.

We've also had requests from institutions soliciting jobs to remind you that there have been some relatively new job listings posted on the Job Solicitations thread. Go check them out.

Finally, a special note to those of you on the market this year. If you've accepted a job, please share the good news. You can let us know via email, and we will post the relevant information. We would make the same request of faculty at institutions: if you're institution has made a hire, please let us know. That way we can list that someone has taken a job.

Since you are, or the individual in question is, off the market, we don't see any problems with disseminating this information... and it will provide some public good to those still on the market.

We want to reiterate how incomplete the information presented here is. We have reason to believe that more candidates than listed interviewed at some schools, for example.

A Shiny New Job Rumors Thread

2006-12-12T08:43:00.000-08:00

Post away. But look at the previous thread before asking questions that might be answered there. Keep in mind that the job environment is fairly fluid right now and that the tally board may be very out of date. Also, we'd appreciate lists of names for interviews, whether at places that interviewed some time ago or places that are still moving. This serves our general interest in complete information about the state of the market.

IR Rumor Mill Policies on Reporting Offers: Open Thread

2006-10-27T01:34:00.000-07:00

A number of you may have noted that your posts requesting information on a specific job offer have not appeared on the IR Rumor Mill. The IR Rumor Mill team has had extensive discussions concerning what our policy should be on reporting job offers.

Our current policy is not to disclose offers unless that information comes directly from the candidate in question. Job offers involve sensitive information exchanged between schools and prospective employees. A candidate often negotiates with a school over the terms of the contract. Other schools may have reasons to adjust their searches in light of a job offer. These and other reasons strike us as sufficient warrants for treading carefully in this area.

Once a candidate accepts an offer and we can confirm his or her "off the market" status, we will post that information.

We have to admit to the existence of some internal disagreement over this policy. Therefore, we thought it would be useful to throw the question open to the community for input. Please let us know what you think, and why.

Comment Moderation Enabled

2006-10-16T19:00:00.000-07:00

We've decided to turn on comment moderation for the immediate future. As interesting as it is to discover that, among other things, some people over the age of 12 find King Missile's post-1990 ouevre funny enough to quote from (extensively) on this blog, we think it might be easier to screen as many posts as possible rather than to delete them after they appear.

IR Job List Fall 2007 Posted

2006-10-16T18:53:00.000-07:00

A preliminary listing of International Relations jobs through October 13, 2007 has been posted. It has been backdated to October 1 so that you don't have to scroll through it on the main page.

2006-10-11T23:07:00.000-07:00

Unconfirmed Rumors: IR Jobs (New)

2006-10-11T13:26:00.000-07:00

Since the job market is starting to take form we think it is time for a new rumors thread. And for an editor's note.

We've had to delete a large number of posts lately. We understand that it can be difficult to resist gossiping about candidates, particularly senior-level candidates, and departments, but we don't consider that appropriate activity for the IR Rumor Mill. We apologize to those who made reasoned arguments about the inappropriateness of the questions and discussions, but we deleted your posts to make it less likely for the conversation to continue. We may put up some of these comments in the IR Rumor Mill Discussion thread [note: as we have been doing as long as those comments are informational rather than speculative or dispariging].

We'll be a bit more tolerant of some of this kind of posting in the Job-market discussion thread, but even there we want to make sure the conversation "stays clean."

If you can't resist, there are plenty of outlets for this sort of nonsense (which, we believe, reflects very badly on our field): IR Discussions, American and Comparative Jobs 2, and so forth.

Feel free to discuss this policy in the IR Rumor Mill Discussion thread. But we won't change our minds.

We are, of course, interested in confirmation of the accuracy of the information we've posted in the tally sheet. The information we have is, at the least, incomplete.

We have reason to believe that some departments have responded to the various rumor mills by trying to better police information about their candidates and searches. We understand the rationale for such policies, but want to reiterate our stance: transparency -- within limits -- is in the best interests of the community. Interview information is already shared between faculty members and fellows at many institutions, and so the only people left in the dark are candidates (and prospective candidates) who lack access to these "information networks."

IR Rumor Mill Discussion

2006-10-09T12:50:00.000-07:00

As part of a broader housecleaning effort, we're moving posts related to the IR Rumor Mill itself here. So post away.

Note: we've moved the discussion of the issues involved in revealing/not revealing oneself as an interviewee from the "rumors" discussion to the comments section of this post.

Job-market discussion

2006-10-01T17:54:00.000-07:00

Feeling anxious? Need to decompress? Want advice from peers and people who've already been through the process? Want to give some sage advice of your own? This is the place.

Unconfirmed rumors: IR Jobs

2006-10-01T17:53:00.000-07:00

Post rumors and information in comments.

New Regime

2006-10-01T06:57:00.000-07:00

IR Rumor Mill is now under new management. While we're getting our house in order, a few important notices:

• Job listings will be available soon. We recognize that most job applications are either due on October 1st or October 15th and that, in consequence, the list will be of little help for those making decisions about their applications. We hope, instead, that the listings will serve as a reference point for job-market developments.

• After a brief experiment with comment moderation, we have decided to disable it on a temporary basis. Please be on your best behavior; we will delete comments that bring disrepute on the IR Rumor Mill. If the comment sections begin to look like those found on some of the other "rumor" and "discussion sites" (some of you know what we're talking about) we'll return to being a moderated forum. The short version: we do not view discussions of the quality of specific job applicants as appropriate subjects for the IR Rumor Mill.

• We suspect that some short lists are already decided and that interviewees have already been contacted. We will soon be establishing discussion threads for job-market related information. A few rumors are currently circulating at American and Comparative Jobs. We have no corroborating evidence for these rumors, however.

Explanations and Disclaimers

(C) = confirmed, (L) = likely, (R) = rumor.

Our judgment about the status of a rumor is based on a complicated formula, which boils down to "who told us" and "based on what information." We make mistakes, so this information is for entertainment purposes only.

For an alternative "tally board," see the Political Science Jobs Wiki.

Please reserve comments for mistakes on the tally board or other related issues. Post rumors (confirmation/disconfirmation/hearsay/etc.) on rumor threads only.

IR Rumor Mill: The Next Generation

2006-09-15T23:17:00.000-07:00

Due to an overload of teaching duties, we're accepting applications for taking over the rumor mill. Suggestions for mergers with other rumor mills will be considered. Send applications to irrumormill@gmail.com; we encourage applications from people who are on the market who will be reading it incessantly anyway (or, possibly, someone with tenure who can run it more openly). Duties include updating the job list, compiling the weekly-to-monthly table of summary rumors, policing comments that are off-topic (remember: the unit of analysis is the job), and making things look nice. So - tell us what you'll do with the rumor mill. Be specific. Show off your HTML table skills. Group applications from institutions are always welcome.

IR Rumor Mill on hiatus for the summer

2006-07-06T12:13:00.000-07:00

In case the lack of new posting hasn't made this apparent, the IR Rumor Mill is officially on break. We'll be back after APSA.

The Future of the IR Rumor Mill

2006-05-23T15:41:00.000-07:00

Since there is a (temporary) lull in the job market postings and Fall 2007 jobs are beginning to be posted on APSAnet, this seems to be a useful time to solicit feedback on a number of issues regarding the future of the IR Rumor Mill.

The first question regards the utility of job announcements. Since most of the data comes from APSAnet in any case (and since most readers presumably have access either through their accounts or through a colleague's account), one question is whether it would be useful to continue individual posts as jobs come out. Since no one has complained since this practice was stopped in February, presumably this was not the most useful or popular feature. Additionally, although listings that expire cannot be searched for, direct links still work. Would a table of links and expiration dates still be useful?

The second question regards the scope of the blog. Originally this was set up as an IR-only blog. Given the large overlap between IR and comparative in job listings (somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3), it may make a good deal of sense to do both. (This, of course, requires additional work). Additionally, the American and Comparative blog seems to have done a good job of performing this function. Thoughts by readers of both would be appreciated.

The third question regards limitations on information posted. Unlike rumor mills in the physical sciences, this mill (and the other related political science ones) feature generally unmoderated, anonymous postings. The benefit is that information can spread quickly. The downside, of course, is that information that is outside of the remit of these blogs is posted without fear of being identified. While community policing seems to have worked fairly well here (and not so well in other cases), it is unclear where the boundaries should be set. We have had a policy of only deleting comments as requested by people discussed in those comments and guiding by exhortation rather than by fiat. Does this policy need to change, regarding either the types of information requested or the deletion policy?

Market Rumors: Summary Information

2006-05-12T11:42:00.000-07:00

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.
