She was denied and it is insane. Duke is awful. No one with choices should go there after this denial.
basically this. either a) this is false, b) duke is nuts, c) something really bad happened, like in letters or internally or something.

but you'll always and forever be an insufferable idlot1c tw1t.
l0l. says the M0ng0 defender. now the t3nur3 denial truther. you're a dh_u_mb khun7.
BTW this is the dude who spends his entire day looking at PS citations of juniors to out them, only to get curb stomped again and again and again and again and again and again and again because he has no f-ing clue about what a tenurable record is. just lollololol.

That is a seriously tough call to deny AJ. I'm a fan of her as a person and her work and would have probably voted to tenure her in my dept. That said, I also think her first book got incredibly lucky because of timing and the quality was not great. But, it's a first book and she certainly has enough other stuff going on to (hopefully) suggest she will improve over time. Plus, you can give people credit for sensing important topics. (Unless you think the timing luck was a fluke not-to-be-repeated)

God I hate the people who run around and feel the need to talk about scholarship in top venues as being low quality.

'Top venues' ? So you just genuflect to everything based on the publisher? CUP is especially bad at publishing lots of books of varying degrees of quality. Also, I wouldn't describe White IP as 'low quality', but I also wouldn't describe it as high quality. It's a book that made an impact because it was on a very timely topic. That's fine. I would have still voted to tenure her. But if you dig into the research and want to get picky, it's not in the top tier of books in terms of research quality.
