Prospective Forum: LLC Pre-14th-Century Chinese on MLA Commons 11 years, 3 months agoHi,
If it will help I am willing to volunteer. Primarily I deal with Confucianism and Daoism, considerably earlier than 14th century, but if you need people I’m willing to serve. I already serve on the Contingent Labor for the Profession Committee so I’m not sure how that would affect me serving here. That’s a committee not a forum so I do not…[Read more]

@sdonohue Hey Stacey, I was trying to post something to the two-year college group, and there is no forum. Is that the case for the PTF group. I can post but others can’t?

We have a blog: http://thetwoyearcollege.mla.hcommons-staging.org/ is that what you mean? I’m not sure about the distinction between a blog and a forum, but I’ll try to figure that out.

Definitely keep this as part-time faculty. Universities such as Tiffin University do not have ANY tenure track employees/faculty as all full-time faculty are not tenured and no tenure is possible there. There is definitely a distinction between full-time and part-time and that does not necessarily equal tenured/non-tenured.
