Hmmm, They must have failed the search the first time around. I'm going to have to re-apply (thanks for posting) and use a different interview strategy. I just wanted to say to everyone out there that Oregon is a great place to live and being an Ombudsman at OSU would be a great opportunity for anyone. Corvallis is a great town.

Actually, this is an assistant ombuds for the office. The search resulted in the appointment of Susan Theiss from U Arkansas.

I've got a phone interview for this position on Monday. As they described it, to me over the phone when they called to schedule, I could not help but to get extremely excited. Wish me luck ADRhub folks! And Tom, thanks again for the heads up.
