We had a math lecturer pretending to be a finance/statistics lecturer who said the week before school started for the semester that he was likely coming (for the contract he had already signed), and on being told it had to be definitely yes or definitely no, he said it was definitely yes.

Then he was not there at the start of the semester and he said he would definitely be there by Friday.

Then on Wednesday he informed the program director that he had another position and would not be coming after all.

(He was the other visiting processor in my office, and I got to teach his Ag Finance class as an all-new Senior level prep with no warning [whoopie!], so this whole process was perhaps more memorable to me than to most other members of staff.)

Obviously his prospective future employer had better information on where he would be (presuming his future employer was foolish enough to hire him) than we had.

So when July 1 rolls around and there is no move, or when the Commissioner of America East denies it, I'll be convinced by the denial by the Commissioner of the A-Sun.
