From Brian Leiter.

(1) The Department of Philosophy at Yale has voted offers to John Hawthorne (metaphysics, philosophy of language, Leibniz) and Ted Sider (metaphysics, philosophy of language) at Rutgers University at New Brunswick, and to Jason Stanley (philosophy of language) at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

(2) Rutgers has also voted an offer to Jason Stanley as well.

It’s one thing to not hear about job offers to strangers before Brian does, but to not hear about offers to friends – I must be living in a hole 😉

Having said that, I would be moderately amused to hear about a job offer to me through Brian. My slight annoyance at such an impersonal approach would be offset by my admiration for how well this new information distribustion system is working.

By the way, no, this wasn’t the news I was hinting at last week – though I think this episode will convince me to not even try getting in the gossip game.
