"Unfair" seems a bit of a stretch. They gave a clear deadline, Oct 1st. Some schools say they will continue accepting applications after their deadline "until the position is filled" or some such, but I think it's pretty clear to most people (certainly it should be to anyone reading these boards given the discussions around this very issue) it's a very good idea to get the application in by the initial deadline or as near as you can get it. They just put a more definite date on when they would stop accepting applications. If you waited to submit after the Oct 1st deadline you took your chances.

The status on the wiki recently changed to clarify that the in person interviews were for the sexualities position. Any confirmation of this?

I applied to the Sexualities position and *just* got an email asking for my gender/ethnicity info. A sign that the search is still ongoing, or a sign that the left hand does not know what the right is doing?

I applied to the sexualities position and also got that email today...I doubt it means there is still hope though as the wiki already indicates that they are interviewing.
Schools have to send those out to all the applicants for EEO reasons, what is probably means is that the hiring committee got its nuts together before the HR department did.

the afam position was very clearly 10/1 and they have already sent out rejection letters.
i know someone who has an interview scheduled for one of the other positions. again, those deadlines were 10/1.
