    Wow . . . what an opportunity! I can be the key resource person for an entire university from right at home! Let's see, I can set up an office in my kitchen - I'll put the file cabinet next to the formica counter, then I can put my toaster right on the file cabinet. Now I'll be able to make toast while I do the filing for the entire university! And best of all, I can work naked!!! And when the phone rings for the entire university, I can romp around the kitchen naked while I recruit prospective students! Gee, this is getting to be exciting. Well, not exciting in that way, but a thrill nonetheless.

    But I'll have to get my bullshit rap down. I can see being asked what I do for a living. "Oh, I'm an administrative assistant for a university."

    "Cool! What department do you work in?"

    "All of them. I'm the administrative assistant for the entire university."

    So, y'all still wonder why I would consider a school like this to be a joke? An um-university? University, my ass. And y'all still wonder why I consider DEAC to be a joke? Granted, they occasionally get something right - like when they busted David Lady and William Loveland College's nuts. But does DEAC consider City Vision to be an actual university? Like I've said in the past, DEAC, my ass.

    Seems like a lot of work for $30K.

    The Department Chair position is $20 an hour. I don't recall ever seeing a university pay an hourly rate for an academic position. Seems pretty low, too.

    I'm trying to wrap my head around the department chair's obligations, while being limited to ten hours per week. While others may have better time-management skills that I do, I can't fathom how it would even be feasible to perform those duties effectively with that limitation. Appreciate the posting though, as I'm certain that someone in a semi-retired position would love the opportunity to provide a difference in a meaningful endeavor.
