The responsibilities seem like mostly thankless bullshit massaging egos, scheduling courses, approving purchase orders.

Having now looked at the job descriptions posted onexactlyfouruniversitywebsites, I can confidently assert thatThe Chairpaints a generous picture.
Being chair isentirelythankless bullshit.
But thats liberating to know.
Fittingly, hes also in his pajamas, a sartorial surrender that anticipates the bad news: temporary suspension.
Hes not even allowed on campus, Ji-Yoon tells him.
Back on campus, Ji-Yoons situation continues to deteriorate.
Its an intriguing foil to Bills predicament.
Both committed unforced errors, but I imagine Ji-Yoon wont struggle to be remorseful.
So lets check in on the status of Yazs tenure proceeding.
Not unlike the adult diapers he wears to bed, Yaz is a mirror of his own mortality.
Larson reminds Ji-Yoon that shes not Bills peer anymore, but nor is she the deans lackey.
She pushes back on both men, but never effectively.
What Im questioning is why Yaz would even want to stay at Pembroke if shes such hot shit.
For her part, Ju Ju doesnt want to sign her full name, Ju-Hee, to the letter.
These are your people now, Bill.
The moment she sees him, though, her priorities snap back like a rubber band.
She shuts Bill inside where Larson cant catch him on campus.
Bills mad Ji-Yoon is stealing his IP; shes furious hes there at all.
Its especially rich consideringhe lost Ju Ju.
The optics are unfortunate, but thats the truth of Ji-Yoons loyalties.
Bills fate is her fate.
The only person making any forward motion right now is Joan.
Shes bewitched the IT guy into helping her find the pissant whos been smearing her on RateMyProfessors.com.
Its hard to find time to look at curtain swatches between all the bullshit.
