I thought they just hired someone last year? He leaving already?

From what I hear, it was one-year appointment non-tenure track because it was so late in the year. To make the position tenure-track, they have to do another national search.

Ah, so like Ithaca, they'll likely just hire the same guy.

Perhaps, but if you don't ask, you are already at "no."
