I agree with Sue Easun's points. Well taken. Not all LIS doctoral students become faculty members.
I was just happy to see that an LIS doctoral program was actually trying to prepare students for what they might face if they become faculty members. I think more LIS schools should do this.

But what of students who aren't planning to become faculty members? or who
don't get to be faculty members? Nothing against Richard's course, or any of the
others discussed, just wondering whether the list feels such situations should be
addressed.
