Once she was officially put on the tenure track, she moved up the ranks quickly, but it's hardly like she went to the AALS conference, got a job, and then got tenure almost immediately. She was at Maryland for a total of five years before getting tenure, and the committee was undoubtedly familiar with her research work from the time she was a VAP. Three years might be too fast for tenure even in a law school environment, but thanks to the profession's <i>notoriously</i> lax tenure standards in comparison to the rest of academia, five years is pretty normal, if a little on the short side.

]]> Comment on Florida Criminalizes Arts & Crafts by anonymous http://randazza.wordpress.com/2009/12/15/florida-criminalizes-arts-crafts/#comment-14783 anonymous Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:37:20 +0000 http://randazza.wordpress.com/?p=7502#comment-14783 This reminds me of something you said when you talked about "Two Girls, One Cup": though what this person did was yucky, he did NOT inappropriately touch a minor nor did he make suggestions, flashes, etc. In short, perhaps this is a way for him to release pent-up tension so he won't actually do immoral or illegal acts. This is somewhat a sensitive area for me because my daughter was inappropriately touched by a relative (it was one of those deals where the police who investigated said that the jerk was just short of an obvious law breaking act and that the DA would probably not pursue the case...the "perpetrator" admitted his actions to the police but the police said that "sexual gratification" would be difficult to prove.) I'd rather this guy would have gotten his rocks off with photos. I am sending this to you directly rather than posting a comment due to the sensitive nature, though you can feel free to post this after stripping off my personal information. Keep up the good work; what you do isn't strictly an academic exercise.

I suggest a couple thinly veiled "excitement" metaphors - something about eliciting Libbidy Counsel's "turgid response" or "involuntary shudder" at the performance. Beautiful.
