These sites provide details of job offers made by academic institutions, often giving shortlists with lists of names, and sometimes also the names of people who were offered jobs and declined them. This information can be very useful to those in the academic community, but it also raises ethical questions, as the shortlists were presumably confidential.
The right to free speech conflicts here with the right of a search committee to make decisions in confidence.
Long ago, the YMN considered hosting such a website. Would we be willing (and able) to do such a thing? |
