   Shedd shed. Nelson off to IAS. Moore is in Barnard.

   Are they the only Top 10 department without any black faculty at any level?

   Not a Top 10 department, but yeah this is shameful. So white white white. And no Shamus ain't Black.

   It's not that "white" with Shamus, Lu, Western, Lee, Abascal, Tran. But having a dept with no black faculty with Columbia's resources in NYC is bad. There are no excuses, and Columbia knows it. Expect a poach or two in the near future.

   Asians aren't underrepresented minorities. White passing Latinas... Please.

   Columbia's climate issues have finally come to a head.

    ^I've heard some places do have associates without tenure. Not sure what it actually involves or whether it applies to this case.

    Tran is teaching at CUNY in the fall - not sure whether that's indicative of not receiving tenure at Columbia

    Barnard faculty are members of the Columbia sociology dept (must go through tenure at Barnard + Columbia). Still a race problem there, though.

    Columbia promotes without tenure; Shamus had associate before tenure. Tran hired to CUNY GC

    They really should have kept Tran. Great guy. Super nice.

    Columbia has really high tenure requirements. Tran's CV looks tenurable at some nice R1s, with the IMRs and ERSs, but he didn't publish much at the beginning of his time at Columbia and Columbia denies some very impressive scholars. I'm glad he landed on his feet at CUNY GC, and he'll probably keep doing good work there.
