I work at the UW Parkside and we serve more low income students than any other school in the system. I can't adequately express how mad this makes me.

I peruse job ads frequently, as I'm sure many academics do. I have noticed a ton of openings in my field (Art/Design) in the US south, particularly Texas and Florida. I wounder why that is????? Far fewer desirable positions to be found in other areas. I'm not looking looking, just passive, but it seems remarkable.
