Both anecdotes are about departments that were searching or are planning a search. Both departments see their department as mainly a teaching department, but they do have research requirements (I think 3\/3 or 3\/2 loads). Also, according to both anecdotes, these departments consider publications in top journals as counting against a candidate!&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/academia\">academia<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/jobs\">jobs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/philosophy\">philosophy<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/humanities\">humanities<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/stupid\">stupid<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.css.edu\/x3793.xml\">Faculty Staff Institute 2008<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;The defining mark of an educational community is its commitment to the subject matter it is studying-the calculus, the double helix, the golden mean, E=mc2, the Ode to Joy, the face that launched a thousand ships, the &#8220;invisible hand,&#8221; the voyage of the Beagle, stories of love and loss, of helping and healing, of war and peace, of brokenness and redemption. These are what Palmer calls &#8220;the Great Things,&#8221; the love of which should dominate the college campus and determine what its community means.<\/p>\n<p>So, a college community is not, at bottom, best understood in terms of intimacy, democracy, customer satisfaction, or therapy-although it may include aspects of these various models. A college community is best understood in terms of conversation: disciplined, sustained, devoted discussion about important things. A college is a community whose way of life is shaped by devotion to understanding the Great Things.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/academia\">academia<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/education\">education<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/physicsbuzz.physicscentral.com\/2009\/10\/prize-announcement-adds-to-nobel.html\">Physics Buzz: Sakurai prize announcement adds to Nobel speculation<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;The American Physical Society has awarded [Peter] Higgs and five other physicists the 2010 J.J.
