Thanks for doing this. I'm on the market and am in a relationship with a woman who's finishing her bachelor's degree. She wants to go on to graduate school.
I know spousal hires are common, but I'm wondering if I could ask, during my TT job negotiation process, for her to be guaranteed a spot in my hiring school's graduate program (in a different department than mine)? This seems much less onerous to the university than a spousal hire, but I've never heard of it being done. Curious to hear your thoughts.
