That kind of information is very helpful for anyone considering the job.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As a former university administrator, I'm always sad when stories like yours happen -- one salary quoted over the phone, another once you've gotten to the interview -- but they are common, often due to subtleties of where actual power lies in the institution, sometimes due to misplaced optimism by the original contact. They are usually a sign of things to come, so if this had to happen to you at all I'm glad it was before you hired on.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And I (foolishly) hope the school paid your travel expenses.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best wishes, </DIV> <DIV>Dorrie Bell</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dorothy Bell</DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:dabell58@earthlink.net">dabell58@earthlink.net</A></DIV> <DIV>Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P></P></BODY></HTML>
