Western Carolina University is looking to hire three business law faculty members: two tenure-track and one for a fixed term.
Descriptions of the positions are available under the break. Western Carolina University is one of the few universities in the country with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration and Law. In the spring of 2014, I presented at WCU. They have thoughtful professors, a beautiful campus, and engaged students.
I have updated my lists of legal studies professor openings and law school (business area) professor openings.
