Job Opening -- Head Coach, Cornell University

Got this in the mail today and figured I'd post it here. There was a similar ad listed in the most recent issue of The Swordmaster (the newsletter of the USFCA) as well.

Quote:
Cornell University
Seeks nominations & applications for the position of
Head Coach Women's Fencing

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, coaching, recruiting, scheduling, budget management, and overall administration of a Division I fencing program in accordance with NCAA, Ivy League, and University rules and procedures. Credentials should reflect proven success in coaching, recruiting, and working with student-athletes in a highly demanding academic environment.

QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree with 1-3 years of experience or equivalent combination. College coaching and playing experience preferred.

APPLICATION PROCESS:
Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until a successful candidate is chosen.

Please note all candidates must apply on line at http://www.ohr.cornell.edu/jobs (job posting #03809). For more information contact Steve Erber, Associate Athletic Director at (607) 255-7442 or spe4@cornell.edu or Pam Dollaway, Human Resource Manager at (607) 255-1307 or pld3@cornell.edu.

Cornell University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Educator and Employer.

Cornell University is located in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State. The 745-acre campus overlooks what the Utne Reader dubbed the "most enlightened" city of Ithaca, and is surrounded by an unspoiled, easily accessible environment of startling natural beauty. Ithaca was voted the "best healthy city in the Northeast" in Organic Style Magazine, by Rodale Press, who also gave it high ranking for culture and style. If you need a big-city fix, Manhattan is 45 minutes away by air, or within four hours of traveling by car on scenic highways. Syracuse, Binghamton, and Rochester are all with 90 miles of Ithaca, and Toronto isn't much further than New York City.

Um. And this vacancy is open..........why? Is Al Peters looking for an assistant, or moving on somewhere else??? Come on, give with the details, man!

The position is the job formerly held by Al Peters. I don't know details, I'm in no way associated with Cornell. I don't know what list I was on that resulted in my getting the email (perhaps they sent it to everyone the USFA has listed as a coach in the membership database).

Sorry, don't know significantly more than I've posted here.

Why doesn't Cornell have a Men's Fencing Team? Cause of Title IX (or w/e title that says there must be equal teams for men and women)? Or something else?

My guess is Title 9. They needed a women's sport. Not many men's only teams survived past 1980. I should know because I was a victum (University of Maryland).

The used to have both. They dropped both for budgetary reasons. The women's team was restored (after a Title IX lawsuit). They have a competitively active men's club team (2004 US Collegiate Club Men's Champions).

What a change from the days that Sudre and Gillet had their fencing academy there, in addition to strong men's and women's teams.

A warning to anyone thinking of going there: the winters are long and cold. Maybe members of the MA contingent would feel at home, though.
