    Any news lately? How's the budget situation in Wisconsin? Any possibility that the UBC offer will move downward on the list? Any possibility of this at Wisconsin? How long will the two schools give for consideration of their competing offers before the other candidates they interviewed also get a crack at the job? 3 months?

    Interesting development. Just noticed from Wiki that their offer has been rejected. With Birney already accepting elsewhere, just wondering whether UBC will reopen the search next year. Any insider take?

    UBC has gone back to the pool this year...

    So, what is the chance that the offer to the Stanford ABD will be actually accepted?

    Considering that UBC is the only offer that person has, the chance is close to 100%.

    Now that it looks like Bhavnani has accepted the Wisconsin offer and UBC is apparently going back to the pool, I thought it would be good to quote these previous messages.

    Looks like Canada's appeal does have limits for American ABDs/PhDs. Anyway, if UBC is going back to this year's pool, have the calls and interviews already started? Hopefully we with degrees from Canadian schools will now have a better shot, at last.

    ^UBC is not appealing to those with an American PhD. Yet, Asian Expert objects to UBC only hiring those with American degrees. Am I missing something?

    I am pretty confident UBC has not gone back to its pool. I somehow doubt they'll do so this year. Easier in so many ways to just search again next year, right?

    Anyone with better information?

    Sorry to disappoint those hoping for the position to role over: UBC did go back to the pool, interviewed a couple more candidates, and has made an offer. The offer has not yet been accepted or rejected, so I'll be quiet as to the details. Once the offer is decided, I'm sure word will get out.

    UBC is lucky to get Bohlken. In a normal market year in the US, they wouldn't get her.

    Watch it, NYU boosters. You're not doing your friend any favors.

    ^^^I have no connection to NYU, and I don't know the person who got the UBC job. I have only read her work, and I think it is wonderful. And well worth a top 10 US placement.

    The question is: Can UBC keep her?

    ^^Gee, did she send her application to UBC much later than the first round of interviewees? Otherwise, how could the SC have missed this top-10 US placement and gone for the other two applicants?

    UBC couldn't get its first choice, and it won't be able to keep this one.

    ^^you don't really know how search committees work do you? Hint: IIA is violated. I'm sure it was in his case based on personal communication with people at UBC.

    ^lol. So true. I wonder how many people know what IIA is on this board? If they don't they should look it up. Social choice theory is cool.
