What an awesome name. So glad you get another chance, though that would seriously mess with my head. I hope the re-review means that everyone keeps their eye on how awesome your record is and that the retirements point to a need for you. I wish you knew if you get a whole new admin team looking at it all.
It’s a total mind fuck. The good news is that the new provost — the one with the PhD in English — will be the one reviewing my file. Everyone who already supported me will (I hope) support me again. The X-factor is that I think my new chair is a fatalist who never fights for anything. I’m worried she’ll throw me under the bus, since she already thinks English is doomed. Great leadership team, eh?
