salary determination, or other professional activities in which APA members characteristically participate. At the same time, the APA recognizes the special commitments and roles of institutions with a religious affiliation; it is not inconsistent with the APA’s position against discrimination to adopt religious affiliation as a criterion in graduate admissions or employment policies when this is directly related to the school’s religious affiliation or purpose, so long as these policies are made known to members of the philosophical community and so long as the criteria for such religious affiliations do not discriminate against persons according to the other attributes listed in this statement. Advertisers in Jobs for Philosophers are expected to comply with this fundamental commitment of the APA, which is not to be taken to preclude explicitly stated affirmative action initiatives. Please note: The APA non-discrimination statement does not constitute legal protection for candidates who accept jobs advertised in the JFP. Federal law protects employees against some forms of discrimination, but there is currently no federal law protecting employees against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identification. Lesbian, gay, and transgendered candidates are advised to consult applicable state and local laws, along with university/college non-discrimination policies, before accepting a position. CLARIFICATION OF QUALIFICATIONS The APA recognizes as a professional right of applicants for any position advertised in Jobs for Philosophers that no qualification for the position that will be given weight in making the appointment should be concealed from such applicants. In particular, if there is an official departmental or university policy requiring the job to be reserved for a qualified person of a certain sort– for example, one belonging to a certain religious or intellectual tradition, or having a degree in another field, or one who is currently a U.S. or Canadian citizen or permanent resident (or that such a person is to be preferred, other things being equal, for the position)– then all applicants have a right to know of that policy before they apply. Either the full relevant criteria for selection should be stated in the advertisement, or if that would be awkward, the advertisement should recommend that interested parties, before preparing an application, write to the department for a full statement of the qualifications sought. The APA urges advertisers to prevent even the appearance of secret reservations that could result in persons applying in good faith for positions for which they have no chance. Standards and qualifications should be applied evenhandedly to all candidates, both internal and external.

MORE APA STATEMENTS,INSTRUCTIONS, AND

ADVICE

INSTRUCTIONS FORDEPARTMENTS

1. Prepare an advertisment for submission.Suggested guidelines may be obtained from the APAwebsite, at http://www.apa.udel.edu/apa/publications/jfp/advertise.asp. Please specify thedepartment member to whom inquiries should beaddressed. LIST A DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONSAT LEAST TWO WEEKS AFTER SCHEDULEDPUBLICATION DATE OF THE JFP. If no deadline isfurnished or is prior to two weeks following the dateof issue, candidates may assume that applicationswill be accepted for at least one month after themailing date of JFP.

2. Submit your advertisement using the onlinesubmission form at http://www.apa.udel.edu/apa/jfp/jfpsubmit.asp.

3. While notices will be accepted stating that anemployer has a special interest in receivingapplications from women or members of minoritygroups, no notice will be accepted which suggeststhat others will not also be considered in filling thevacancy.

4. Departments are asked to treat inquiries andapplications as confidential.

5. VACANCIES WILL NOT BE RELISTED INSUCCESSIVE ISSUES OF JFP UNLESS REQUESTED INWRITING.

6. You should expect to receive Confirmation ofyour request immediately by automatic email replywhen using the online submission form. If you donot receive confirmation from our office you shouldcontact Lindsay Palkovitz [email protected] to confirm ourreceipt of your submission and its appearance.

INSTRUCTIONS FORAPPLICANTS REGARDINGPOSITIONS LISTED IN JFP

1. Applicants should write institutions advertisingin JFP only if they are qualified for the positionadvertised. A flood of mail from unqualifiedapplicants undermines the APA placement effort.

2. Applicants should send to the persons named inthe notice of vacancy either a letter of inquiry or aletter expressing their wish to be considered for theposition listed, a complete dossier (letters ofreference, teaching evaluations, etc.), and acurriculum vitae including (a) names and addressesof references; (b) title of dissertation and dissertationsupervisor; (c) publications, if any; (d) extent to whichPh.D. requirements have been completed as of dateof application; (e) expected date of completion ofremaining requirements; (f) areas of specializationand competence; and (g) teaching experience, if any.The job notice will specify if complete dossier is notto be sent.

3. Applicants should communicate directly with theperson named in the published listing. They shouldnot communicate with the APA.

4. Applicants who wish to have theircorrespondence acknowledged by departmentsshould enclose a stamped postcard addressed tothemselves with space for the signature or initialsof a department officer. Departments listingopenings will try to return all such postcards. Nofurther acknowledgment should be expected,though many departments do eventually write to

ADVICE FOR JOBAPPLICANTS

The schedule for those seeking jobs and thoseDepartments offering positions is difficult for allconcerned. From the point of view of Departments,any publication date for JFP is a compromise betweenthe competing demands imposed by the need toget funding for positions, so the later the better,and by the need to have time to process applications,so the sooner the better. From the point of view ofjob applicants, there are also competing demands:the sooner it is published, the more time to apply,but the later it is published the more opportunitieswill be available. There is no easy solution to thisproblem, but you can ease your difficulties somewhatby being prepared when JFP is published.Since there is so little time between even the earliestpublication of JFP in the fall and Eastern DivisionMeetings, you should already be prepared with aclear application for easy review when JFP ispublished. You should have your curriculum vitaeready to put in an envelope, a generic draft of aletter of application ready to be fine-tuned forparticular job opportunities, and the rest of yourfile ready for mailing. This means talking to thosewho are to write letters of recommendation longbefore JFP is due to arrive, preparing material aboutyour teaching capacities, and selecting a writingsample for those Departments that request it.Applications should be complete as well as clearlyorganized.It is to your advantage to send in your applicationas soon as possible after an ad appears.

OFFERS OF EMPLOYMENT

The Board of Officers sometimes hears of difficultiesthat have arisen for employers or prospectiveemployees in the course of the hiring process.

1. Deadlines for Responses to Offers: Thecircumstances under which offers are made are sovarious that no rule will cover all cases, but normsof professional courtesy suggest some helpfuladvice. Employer and prospective employee shouldbe respectful of one another’s legitimate concerns.Employers are properly concerned about planningfor the contingency of making another offer in atimely fashion if one is turned down. Prospectiveemployees are properly concerned to makeimportant career decisions in the light of fairlycomplete information about which offers they areactually going to receive. In some cases suchconcerns may set employer and prospectiveemployee at cross-purposes unless professionalcourtesy is exercised by both parties. Ideally, at thetime an offer is made, employer and prospectiveemployee should discuss their concerns with the aimof arriving at a mutually agreeable deadline forresponse. In normal circumstances, a prospectiveemployee should have at least two weeks forconsideration of a written offer from a properlyauthorized academic officer, and responses to offersof positions whose duties begin in the succeedingfall should not be required before January 15. Whenan employer is unable to honor these conditions,the prospective employee should be given anexplanation of the special circumstances thatwarrant insistence on an earlier decision. By thesame token, a prospective employee should notdelay unnecessarily in responding to an offer onceit has been made. When a prospective employeerequests more time to consider an offer than theemployer is inclined to give, a candid statement ofthe reasons for the request is in order.

2. Oral Offers and Acceptances. There are atleast two distinct types of situations that causedifficulties with oral offers and acceptances. Theideals of professional courtesy suggest advice fordealing with them. One is the case in which aprospective employee receives what appears to bean oral job offer and on that account forgoes otheropportunities only to learn later that the prospectiveemployer has no job to offer because, for instance,a position does not receive final administrativeapproval. In order to prevent misunderstandingson this score, the prospective employer should makeit very clear to the prospective employee whether aformal offer is being extended or not. If a prospectiveemployer is only in a position to say that a formaloffer will be forthcoming provided a departmentalrecommendation receives administrative approvaland to predict such approval, the prospectiveemployee should be told explicitly that this is thesituation. Another kind of difficulty arises when aformal offer is orally made and accepted and theprospective employee later receives and acceptsanother offer. Such cases can present both legaland moral problems. It is worth bearing in mindthat there are circumstances in which oral contractsare legally binding. In addition, oral acceptance ofa formal offer, like making a serious promise,generates a strong prima facie obligation to takethe job thus accepted, and weighty reasons areneeded to justify not doing so.

NON-TENURE TRACKFACULTY

The following statement was approved by the Board ofOfficers at its 1994 Meeting, based upon a moreextensive set of guidelines prepared by the AmericanAssociation of University Professors.

1. Institutions should limit reliance on non-tenuretrack faculty.

2. In circumstances in which an institution haslegitimate needs for a specialized class of faculty inpart-time or fractional time positions, the institutionshould have policies that provide for their long-termstability.

RANKINGS OFDEPARTMENTS AND

PROGRAMS

The following statement was prepared by theCommittee on the Status and Future of theProfession (Peter French, Chair) and approved bythe Board of Officers at its 2003 Meeting.

The American Philosophical Association does notrank departments of philosophy and their graduateand/or undergraduate programs nor does itsponsor or endorse any rankings of philosophydepartments or programs that are compiled byothers.

The American Philosophical Association recognizesthat there is often a need for comparativeinformation about departments and programs. Ittherefore encourages those seeking suchinformation to access A Guide to GraduatePrograms in Philosophy, which is published everyother year by the APA. Ordering information canbe found on the Association’s web site at http://www.apa.udel.edu/apa/publications/index.html.The 6th edition of the Grad Guide will be availablein Fall 2004. The APA also encourages peopleseeking comparative information aboutdepartments and programs to use the links on theAPA web site (http://www.apa.udel.edu/apa/asp/departments.asp) to examine the graduateprograms offered by various departments, and toconsult with chairpersons or graduate directors.

GLOBAL CHARACTER OFPHILOSOPHY

The following statement was prepared by the Committeeon International Cooperation and approved by theBoard of Officers at its 1992 Meeting.

Our profession is an international one. OurAssociation and its members have contacts of manykinds with philosophical organizations and withindividual philosophers in many parts of the world.In 1998, the United States will be host to the WorldCongress of Philosophy. The Committee onInternational Cooperation wishes to remind allmembers of The American Philosophical Associationthat it is important to be sensitive to these links whenmaking statements about the subdivisions of theprofession and when using philosophicalterminology of several kinds.

Terms such as “History of Philosophy,” “AncientPhilosophy,” and even “the Classics” areambiguous. In India, for example, all three of theseexpressions may well be understood to refer to theancient traditions of Indian philosophy, written inSanskrit. In Chinese, Islamic, and African traditions,among others, similar issues would arise. It is notdifficult to write “History of Western Philosophy,”“Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy,” and “theGreek and Latin Classics,” if this is what one means.To do so indicates respect for the other traditions,whereas casual omission of the qualifying terms canbe construed as suggesting neglect. (It can also bepractically misleading) as when a specialist in thehistory of Chinese philosophy applies for a jobadvertised as “history of philosophy,” in theexpectation that his or her specialization is amongthose sought; usually such expectations will bedisappointed.)

The Board of Officers recommends that membersof The American Philosophical Association carefullyconsider these points of courtesy, in writing andediting job advertisements, publications, syllabi, andprofessional communications of many kinds, bothformal and informal.

Investigations by the American Association ofUniversity Professors of the administrations of theinstitutions listed below show that, as evidenced bya past violation, they are not observing the generallyrecognized principles of academic freedom andtenure endorsed by this Association, the Associationof American Colleges and Universities, and morethan 180 other professional and educationalorganizations. The 1940 Statement of Principles onAcademic Freedom and Tenure may be found on theAAUP Web site, www.aaup.org.

At the 2006 annual meeting censure was addedto:

New Mexico Highlands University

Censure was removed from:

Des Moines UniversityWestminster College of Salt Lake CityMaryland Institue College of ArtNyack CollegeEssex Community College

The annual meeting voted to take no action againstthe administrations of Greenville College (Illinois)and the City of New York and, after much debate,vote to postpone indefinitely a motion to censurethe administration of Medaille College (New York)and a motion to condemn the administration. (AAUPwebsite: http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/protectrights/academicfreedom/AM-censure-actions.htm)

The censured administrations, with dates ofcensuring, are listed below. Reports were publishedas indicated by the Academe citations following eachlisting.

AAUP CENSUREDADMINISTRATIONS

ACADEMIC FREEDOM ANDQUESTIONABLE

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

Each issue of JFP will list by number any institutionwhich falls under any of the following categories:

(a) It is on the AAUP list of censured institutions.The full list of censured institutions is published inthe October issue of JFP. On occasion, AAUP censureis imposed on a Governing Board. Rather thansimply indicating where the violation occurred, theAPA will flag all institutions under the Board’sgovernance.

(b) It has been certified by the Board of Officers,upon the recommendation of the Committee for theDefense of Professional Rights of Philosophers, ashaving prima facie violated the academic rights ofa philosopher. (Although the Committee does notconduct formal, on-site investigations, it seeks totake testimony from all parties concerned). The APArecommends that before accepting a position,philosophers should consult with prospectivecolleagues and the AAUP Washington officeconcerning the present state of academic freedomat the institution in question.

(c) It has been reported as having engaged inquestionable employment practices by theCommittee for the Defense of Professional Rights ofPhilosophers to the Executive Director, at a timewhen issues of JFP will appear before the nextmeeting of the Board of Officers. The ExecutiveDirector may choose to flag any position advertisedby the institution in question. As in case (b),philosophers should consult with prospectivecolleagues and the AAUP Washington officeconcerning the present state of academic freedomat the institution.
