Perhaps I misunderstood your original post—I took it to say that you send a list of potential hires to admin and then they ignore it, and perhaps even choose a different sub field altogether? That seems totally unthinkable to me.

Yup, that’s accurate. That’s how it’s gone down at two diff institutions. There were other hires where the process was less meddlesome, but since the total # of hires I’ve seen is very small, the overruling is my modal exp.

We may not get many hires approved, but when we do, it is at least the sub field we put forward and request. Admin does at least defer to departmental expertise about their fields and curricular needs (and not just for history). But there isn’t much hiring one way or the other!
