Heh.
Seen on Higheredjobs.com--a very good way *not* to get people to apply (emphasis mine):
DUTIES: Teaching a full load (15 hours) in English/literature courses. Overload teaching is encouraged. Participation in college and departmental committees, college activities and public relations functions as part of the work schedule. Develop functional interpersonal relationships with students and colleagues. Documentation and recordkeeping.
See, at my alma mater, a tenure-track load is usually no more than three classes per semester. Five classes required, more encouraged?! And you're probably expected to publish, too, on top of all the extracurricular stuff. NO THANKS.
(And people wonder why I'd rather not teach....)
ETA: Seen in another job posting for a business writing prof: Specializations in new media and distanced education are desired. *snerk*
