Questions/Comments

 * Those of you who have received calls for interviews, has the status of your online applications changed? Does it still say "in progress"?
 * Anybody hear anything from Hofstra?
 * Has anyone heard anything about the three Middle Tennessee State University positions? Are they interviewing at NCA? -- MTSU is arranging phone interviews for the 2 weeks post-NCA. Emails were sent on 11/14.
 * How about Butler University?
 * Butler sent out an email 11/19 offering to do informal meetings at NCA, saying they weren't ready to do formal interviews.
 * U Nebraska Lincoln?
 * Emails for NCA interviews went out in the evening 11/15.
 * Northeastern? I know that their search is going to be extended until December.
 * Northeastern (Boston) rhetoric is doing NCA interviews as of an email 11/15.
 * And Ohio State U - Communication Technology? Any shortlist yet? Rejection letter? Or Interview?
 * Anyone hear anything from the University of North Texas?
 * Any news about Ohio State U- Political communication?
 * I have an on-campus interview for the OSU social influence position. (There was no first round interview.) The chair mentioned that they have five open searches (he said this last Sunday, 11/16) and it is hard to schedule everyone. That may be a reason for the delay on the other positions. Anyway, the good news is it appears that they still exist.
 * Any word on the Michigan jobs?
 * i am also curious about Michigan job (political communication)
