George Mason University Scalia Law School Dean Search
Your chance to apply to be a law school dean!
Do you want to be the next dean of Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, and (sort of!) my boss? Well, now's your chance to apply! You can lead the law school with more Volokh Conspiracy bloggers than any other. See this link for information about the position, and how to apply.
The search committee asked me to put up this post, which I am happy to do. But I am not a member of the committee, myself. So interested applicants should send their queries and and applications to the committee, at the link above, not to me.

If I was your boss I would fire you immediately. Fortunately for you, I am gainfully employed.
I want to be the Dean of ASSoL!
I'm a 66-year old WASPy lawyer in private practice. Politically I'm a European progressive who understands what Marx, Keynes, Hayek and Friedman got right and got wrong.
What are my chances?
About the same as a climate change model being correct.
Personally, I'm holding out for the job of head football coach at Michigan. My pitch is that I can lose to Ohio State for half the price of anyone else they might hire.
In the last five years (2021-2025), Michigan has dominated the rivalry, winning four straight against Ohio State (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) before Ohio State won the most recent contest in 2025, making the recent series 4-1 for Michigan
I will do the job and I promise to treat my mistress with respect!
I suggest hiring an American.
I'd apply, but I doubt the salary can match my offer from the Yankees.
I nominate Ilya.
Ilya Shapiro.
Sounds interesting, but I am not suited to living in a left wing hell hole.

That’s why you live in beautiful Fargo?? 😉
Thank you, but I've chosen to move forward with another opportunity.
