ha ha, my promotion application bringing together 11 years of the things I've built and innovated, going the extra mile, heart and soul stuff, was met with four months of total silence, followed by "nope".

I missed this. Sorry dude.

I work at the UW Parkside and we serve more low income students than any other school in the system. I can't adequately express how mad this makes me.

one month passes...

I peruse job ads frequently, as I'm sure many academics do. I have noticed a ton of openings in my field (Art/Design) in the US south, particularly Texas and Florida. I wounder why that is????? Far fewer desirable positions to be found in other areas. I'm not looking looking, just passive, but it seems remarkable.
