[curious]

Does anyone happen to know what the teaching load would be here? Thanks!

[cunyguesser]

I met someone who worked there, and they had this incredibly complicated system such that the teaching load at first glance seemed very high -- like 4-4 -- but there were so many ways of buying out or deferring courses, etc., that I don't think she ever worked more than a 2-2.

[fyi]

Just an FYI for the newbies. They ran this job search last year and lost funding for it. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

[letter]

I applied to this last year and received a letter dated July 17th from the search chair encouraging me to apply again (a couple of people in my department got one too so I'm not special).
It says that they've received a letter from CUNY's Executive Vice-Chancellor and University Provost authorizing the search. So it looks like it will happen this year.
