We are putting together a committee to look at how we define new hires for the next year. You can join the committee, work for free, and give up research time OR wait for the really dumb decisions to come out of the committee in the fall because you weren’t involved. Your move.
Most faculty would rather have a mediocre colleague who won’t show them up and is fun to go to lunch with than someone who is challenging and brilliant. That’s why I don’t mind passing over the search committee and dept’s top choice to hire my friends.
