 * <li> Queens College, CUNY (01/08, letter) Was this after an MLA interview? A. I received the same letter on the same date but did not have an MLA interview.
 * <li> U of Toronto (1/14, letter)
 * <li> Trinity -- Medieval/GA (1/14, email) Q. Did you have an interview at the MLA with them?? A. No.  And if I were running the search I wouldn't eliminate anyone whom I'd interviewed at MLA until a candidate had accepted. If you had an MLA interview, I wouldn't expect an outright rejection until March or April.  I've seen more than one search go to the fifth or sixth candidate

 * <li> Pittsburg State University (1/15 email)

* Just a note on rejections, in Dec. after having a phone interview I received a rejection by email, then a few days ago I got an email, the candidate they invited to campus took a job elsewhere and now they want me to come for a campus visit, so you never know, it sucks, but they are the ones holding most of the cards
