The Chronicle: Career Network: 06/11/2003

The Chronicle: Career Network: 06/11/2003: "At a time when most English departments are happy to get permission to hire one new faculty member, the English department at Florida State University has been on a hiring binge. Encouraged by the university's dean of arts and sciences, the department ran six searches this year, making it the envy of its peers.

'The dean conceived of a strategy that was countercyclical: When everybody else wasn't hiring it would be a good time for us to hire,' says Hunt Hawkins, the department's chairman. 'We would then have our pick of people on the market.'"
