Somebody nominated me to serve on a resnearch committee a few weeks ago. It turned out that resnearch should have been research as in "looking for something".
I didn't question the typo because in this degree mill anything is possible. They can search all they want,but please count me out. I won't serve on a cluster hiring committee. I'm not sure that I'm qualified to participate. I avoid anything associated with the word cluster, including department committees and faculty meetings.
Cluster is an outcome for which the chances of something other than a disaster is 50/50 or less. Granted, the idea behind the cluster hiring is a noble one: to increase diversity in the ranks. I'm all for diversity. We need some fresh blood in this group and some more blood types in this department.
Let someone else do that and get the blame for a bad hire.
