Asking search commitee for a specific teaching topic I have an on campus visit for assistant professor position in CS department. The search committee sent me an email that they will soon send a topic for teaching demo. I am thinking of asking her to give a teaching demo about a specific topic. Is that proper to ask?
If the search committee has decided to assign you a topic, you should teach the assigned topic.

If they ask you to choose a topic, then you should choose.

The committee makes the rules, not the candidate.
