It is definitely possible.<BR/><BR/>If my department saw my blog it would be a definite reason not to tenure me. Not because I ever say anything about the university, but it would be seen as "wasted" writing, time spent that should have been spent on something else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-1523836713447415322008-02-02T13:18:00.000-05:002008-02-02T13:18:00.000-05:00...you guys (and what you think of us) and our sho...<I>...you guys (and what you think of us) and our shoes.</I><BR/><BR/>*looks down at sparkly Mephistos and blinks confusedly*<BR/><BR/>You mean there's other stuff?

And actually, since our president has an in-house blog, he'd probably *like* that I have one, but since he's all about "transparency" he'd probably tsk-tsk the pseudonym. But I don't know what the Provost is like since she's new. I doubt very much the board would do anything if everyone else had given me the thumbs up.<BR/><BR/>But, you know, there are still those stories of people getting fired for their blogs -- non-academics and adjuncts, mostly, but still, it makes me a little edgy.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Anon., this particular group of students is a savvy, self-selecting bunch, and half of them are graduate students, so I have no doubt they get it. They're cool.<BR/><BR/>And I'm not sure I know how to protect my blog or if you can with Blogger, anyway. And I'd rather have a public audience -- including my students, if they like. It's not them who make me paranoid.Dr. Viragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960384082670286328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-8077404400546641022008-02-02T09:31:00.000-05:002008-02-02T09:31:00.000-05:00I know it's easy for a tenured person to say this ...I know it's easy for a tenured person to say this ... but boy is it hard for me to imagine a world so crazy that having a blog has a negative impact upon a tenure decision.Jeffrey Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346504393740520542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15231380.post-81348628584354690612008-02-02T07:42:00.000-05:002008-02-02T07:42:00.000-05:00Frankly, if I were you, I'd make the blog protecte...Frankly, if I were you, I'd make the blog protected until you have the final decision.
