She gave a great guest lecture at ADPhi and her research was not only cool but very useful.

Since I'm about to go to grad school for medieval literature, I think it's important. If I had no access to any professors in the field, no way could I pursue it alone. For that matter I wouldn't have gotten into medieval lit if a great professor (a medieval specialist, like Prof. Jacobs) hadn't introduced me to it. Also, please consider that if schools don't bother to acquire professors in a humanities field, they may be condemning that field of study for decades or more.

PLEASE KEEP HER. I was really looking forward to taking her class next semester and it would be a huge loss for the department if she leaves.

Beowulf was my fav class ever. Don't take this away from future students. We need someone who actually knows this stuff.

Prod Jacobs is the best professor I've had in my four years at Brown. Brown would be foolish to let her go!

Professor Lesley Jacobs is precisely the type of professor of which Brown ought to have more: passionate, fiercely learned in her discipline, and eager to share that passion and knowledge with her students. I’m currently enrolled in her “Women’s Voices in Medieval Literature” course and am floored by the sheer depth of material she has introduced us to over a mere three weeks. She creates a convivial classroom environment that fosters much discussion and works tirelessly to reanimate the early medieval works – to make them as tangible and urgent as contemporary pieces of literature. Were Brown to lose her and the Early Medieval Literature teaching position, it would be a severe blow to the caliber of the English Department. As an educational institution that emphasizes curiosity and intellectual expansion, Brown’s axe of the Early Medieval Literature position would not only be a great hypocrisy but also a disservice to the efforts of Jacobs and the students whom she inspires. I sincerely hope that the Department reconsiders this situation and retains Professor Jacobs and the position she currently holds.
