In terms of your seach committee... I was in exactly your spot a couple of years ago. It may have been even more tricky because the adjunct had been hired to a 1-year position (over the protests of others in my department who decided he wasn't qualified then) -- We stuck to our guns and declined to interview him.
He got pissy -- and said crappy stuff abou us -- and implied it was sexism or that we hated him for religious reasons etc... we knew the truth and couldn't say anything.
The one thing that saved my sanity was taking a very detailed set of objective notes about why he wasn't qualified. I knew he'd challenge the search and the result would be that he'd get copies of our notes from the search and a copy of the CV of the person hired. Since the person we hired was way, way, way more qualifie, I felt comfortable explaining the ways the inside guy wasn't qualified ---
It was a chilly spring in our department, but he went away, our new hire came and things are good now.
Sorry to hear about your brother. That sucks about the insurance.
I like refer to repeating students as vets. I call my repeating students repeat offenders.
re: Jesus Camp... I only watched about 40 mins of it before Spouse made me change it because he was freaking out, but I cannot figure out how whipping kids into an emotional frenzy so intense that they break down and sob thinking about their "sins" isn't child abuse.... seriously. WTFWJD? He'd slap those people upside the head....
"batshit crazy wackadoos. " is the Best. Description. Ever.
now, i have one question for you: what does RBOC stand for in your world? random bullets of content?
To me, Jesus Camp is like a horror film. Those children are so earnest and creepy. Shiver.
