    You are a lot more hopeful than I am. I fully expect people to use this logic. Dave Wagner may like to take note that it is a perfect example of affirmation bias.

    @Maniac - odd correlation re: Dave

    Maniac -

    Can you tell me why, when I look up posts by "douchebag" all I get are Dave's posts? See attachment..

    I guess you are trying to make a joke? Ironically, a REAL search for that word turns up only six posts... more than one of them are yours :)

    The correlation I made to Dave is bifold. For one thing, he has been a contributor to this thread. For another, he often uses psychological terms while relating his opinions. In this case, I figured that he would note "affirmation bias" in the people that Cyber were talking about :cool:

    The logic seems more that if you have the great academic job you may get the online doctorate, not the other way 'round...

    I think the possibility of anyone landing a tenure track, B&M teaching position is pretty slim these days.

    This seems more logical.

    I was lined up for a TT interview but changed my mind. I really am not ready to leave the corporate world completely. I did not want to waste anyones time interviewing for a position I would have no intention of taking.

    As stated, I was prognosticating about total acceptance.

    Hi MC,

    I understood what you were saying... My critics get tired of being wrong nearly all the time, so they resort to name calling to reduce cognitive dissonance. It is a perfectly natural phenomenon and if I have to some day cope with being wrong about everything, I may employ such techniques to lower my psychological discomfort... :)

    Dr. Lady is no longer with Aspen, so I doubt if anyone else at the school is pushing for the addition of these programs to Aspen' s portfolio. Indeed, waiting for the programs may not be a smart move...

    As online education seems to be so popular nowadays, I see that schools are relying more on adjunct faculty than ever. If the trend continues, I can see that TTs will become thing of the past and most professors will be contract employees just like in the corporate world.
