Might I confess an oops, Dan? I remembered your post from last year, but did not see your Jan 9 post this year for some reason, and so when Larry sent out his email about the entry level hiring, I decided to summarize the moves from Leiter’s list in addition to those that I knew about. Sorry for the confusion. As always, Co-Op’s got the prettier look to it!

JMLS is a “for-profit” institution and spares no expense in protecting its’ legal and financial interests, not the interests of it’s students.
