[quote=Anonymous]And to add to what I just said in 18:36, I have worked with foreign-born academics - mostly Asian - for over 20 years.  Most of them are well aware of the limits of their English, and they are also aware of their ability, or lack thereof, so speak well in a situation like this one.  And all of their colleagues are also aware.  So the fact that they set this person up for an interview with you AND her subordinate yet very talkative male colleague at the same time, and didn't give you a heads up or make any attempt to mitigate a very predictable outcome basically suggests to me that this was a train wreck waiting to happen and she and her colleagues probably new.  Mr. articulate and talkative certainly knew, and took advantage of it to further his own career opportunity - very typical thing to happen in academia.  Very possibly OP got caught in the middle of a petty academic battle between the two colleagues and is now the sacrificial lamb.

Welcome to academia.  [/quote]
