If so, I stand corrected. I'm curious about the terminations you mention, and can sort of see that -- though usually as a result of public statements that counter a universities standards. I'm having a hard time figuring out if I put those in the same basket. | |

I've seen this same thing so many times that I'm comfortable stating it's a solid pattern by now. I have seen people get rejected for position on this basis, and I've seen people with comfortable jobs get fired for violating the spirit of the question. So yes... personally, I'm pretty confident that this "correct". | |
