CAUTION: The Sender of this email is not from within Dalhousie. When the maths department at Bangor was taken over by Electronic Engineering, they had expertise in error correction engineering, but I did not notice any special interest in categorical methods, though we made some lectures available. The idea that such departments can develop expertise in an area they have not worked in should arouse academic questioning.

I am in close contact with a truly excellent category theorist who, until recently, was at Leicester. It is not just a proposal: action has been taken, and she is no longer employed there.?? The sheer hypocrisy of claiming to seek excellence by downgrading to teaching only positions is transparent, as is the sheer ignorance of the interplay of mathematics and related areas of application.
