Distinguished young philosopher of language and PGR Advisory Board member Jason Stanley, currently at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, has accepted the offer from Rutgers University at New Brunswick. Per our earlier discussion about U.S. programs in philosophy of language, it seems to me--as a non-expert but reasonably informed observer of the subfield--that this probably makes Rutgers tops in the country in this area, though with several other places (e.g., NYU, USC at least) being highly competitive. (Michigan will still retain a strong presence in philosophy of language with Ludlow and Thomason, among others.)
But I'll wait to see what some of the experts (Weatherson, von Fintel) have to say...and, of course, we'll see what the evaluators say in next fall's survey.
