Delta State U still has slots to fill for fall 2014

[passing it along]

Re-posting some info I received today in case it helps anyone out.
A friend in the Communication dept at Delta State University posted to his wall on Facebook saying they need FOUR sociologists for the fall and provided this link:

A few appear to be criminology. Three are visiting and one is TT.

Here is a link to the TT job description: deltastate.peopleadmin.com/postings/831

[questionable salaries?]

I've heard their salaries are dreadfully low and teaching load unrealistically high. Truth?

[passing it along]

The teaching load looks like it's a 4-4, which is high but becoming typical. ?? As for salary, I don't know how Delta State pays. I know living is cheap there.

I am hearing more and more from colleagues across the country that these late offers for 2014-2015 VAP work are barely topping $44k. They know we need them as much as they need us. (One good friend of mine who graduated from a top-ranked R1 claims Purdue offered an offensive $40k for a VAP.)That's my contribution to the rumors. Sorry that I don't know much else.
