I talked to the colleague who was the last person I hired. I stepped down as department chair before she arrived on campus to start her appointment. She told me she loves the university, adores the students, and cannot believe her luck in getting the job of her dreams.
And now I’m racked with curiosity as to whether she knows the battle of the Somme I had to wage to get her hired (over an unqualified candidate that was almost foisted on us by somebody who wanted a friend and a puppet in this position and was not ashamed of using DEI to achieve their goal).
