It's not an ad (which is short for advertisement, fyi). It's a job posting. If you knew anything about the Chronicle, you would know that prestigious schools post high level jobs all the time. Even though schools use search firms, the Chronicle is a great way to get the position availability out widely. A search firm will not find every eligible candidate on their own. This is a 100%, universally accepted practice. The blog was wrong. It’s not an ad (which is short for advertisement, fyi). It’s a job posting.

It's perfectly fine that they reported this. I'd like them to do a more in depth analysis of the process, how it's going, etc. if that is possible (I know how the SFS can be quite obtuse and not open, it happens). I know it's a blog, I know it has its "voice" (pun kinda intended). God knows I've supported it before (and I have no qualms supporting and criticizing the Voice or the Hoya when they need to be), but the little burst of sarcasm in the original post didn't bring any credibility to it. It was snark for snark's sake. What the SFS is doing is typical practice. There is nothing wrong with it. It's the internet age, we use it for this stuff. Full disclosure: I graduated in May, I still go to GU at the Law Center, and I get really really bored outlining sometimes. ^ Don’t get me wrong. It’s perfectly fine that they reported this.

Seriously, internet ads… to run a major branch of a University?" Seriously...internet ads...to hire employees...and administrators... I can't wait to check out where you get all the information for bank jobs, law firms, consulting positions and even more. I think even the government uses the internet(s) for magical things like hiring people. Where else should they look? They clearly aren't going to hire from the faculty here at this point. “Well, I think it’s hilarious. Seriously, internet ads… to run a major branch of a University?”
