Why would this guy want his job back?
More to the point, why would the faculty association, whose members he trashed, want to help him keep it?
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, that was slightly weird. I don't know how to do informational interviews, I think. Anyway, I made the contact, so that can't hurt.

Academia is a funny place. I wonder if the faculty association is/was trying to keep him in that job in order to discourage termination for cause, which would erode rights of tenure? It can be a slippery slope (from their point of view) t /simplistic
Note: I am not a member of the professorate, I merely study it in school.

Ugh, I spent all day yesterday thinking it was Friday. Same thing today. This is NOT. GOOD.

Yeah, I suspect that's it, but in this case, protecting the right of one of their members to sabotage their other members seems silly.

PR: I thought that Guadalupe was giving some pre-planned message to a friend -- i.e., she was going to say that no matter what she was asked. (She is very very odd.) I wanted more of what the eliminated ones were up to. I loved the musical!

Good news, Jen! I was just thinking about you last night. Take care of yourself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent, Jen! Take it easy, eh?
