Dear Colleagues,
With hopes that you are staying healthy and well, I write to share the exciting news that the English Department at Fordham University is opening its search for the Thomas J. Kavanagh Chair of Rhetoric, an endowed chair position at the Advanced Associate/Full Professor level. I am co-chairing this search and am more than happy to field questions about the position, the English Department, and Fordham University, which is a wonderful place to work (ccolombini@fordham.edu). I've included the ad below; the Interfolio link is here.
Our review of applications will begin November 19th. I hope you all will share this announcement with others and consider applying yourselves!
Many thanks and best wishes,

Hi, I am an admitted student at Fordham Law School. I'm an international student with pretty much zero idea about NYC neighbourhoods and public transit. I know I won't be staying on-campus because it's so pricey.
I'd love to stay within a 20-30 minute commute from Fordham. However, I'm unable to navigate the public transportation system because of how complicated it is.
I need to have a private room in an apartment, and ideally it would be 3 people (girls) sharing a 3 bedroom apartment.
I've been looking up Zillow, StreetEasy, Trulia, etc. to understand the housing better.
What I need help with is, understanding which neighbourhoods to stay at
Edit: Budget per person preferably $1000/month.
The law school's dean was fired yesterday without any notice or warning. It took the students, the faculty, and the dean himself by surprise. No one knows exactly why, and the dean apparently said in an email that he was "mistreated" and that his termination was "baseless." Faculty have sent out a public letter calling for an immediate meeting with the University's president. SBA did something similar.
A lot of tea getting spilled here in South Florida. Theories abound: some people think it was an unhappy group of donors who disliked his identity as an openly gay Latino man (if so... uh, yikes), some think it was a failure to fundraise (but to fire him for that in a pandemic?), some think he stepped on the wrong person's toes (but who?).
Thoughts? Hot takes? Similar stories of administrative backstabbing at your school?

- I applied to Emory's Early Decision Program on 1/6/2021. I was accepted 1/22/21 via email.
- 3.5 gpa and 156 lsat
- No interview (however they did call me but idk if that counts as an interview)
- I'm a double minority so that helped a lot. But my personal statement carried me the most I think. Over the phone they said that my statement was really good.
