At first, I found this post to be unbelievable. But checking around the CoEP - I've discovered that the post is true. I am stunned.

Wait a minute, does this place operate under the rules of the Faculty Handbook? I teach at another univ. and was considering an opening listed in the Chronicle. A good friend of mine told me to check out this website. I've heard that the univ.is in some trouble. but this looks unreal.

Potential applicant,

See the Chronicle of Higher Education article about USM from last March (it was on the front cover), and the follow up pieces. Check back in here if you have additional questions.

Unless you are completely unemployed, I would not bother wasting your money on the postage to apply. I have taught at 6 institutions, and USM is the biggest disaster I have seen in my entire academic career. The faculty there are wonderful, but the administration is evil.
