UC San Diego Makes Bid for Medievalist Pasnau at Colorado

Robert Pasnau (medieval philosophy, metaphysics) is the latest philosopher at the University of Colorado at Boulder to have an outside offer, this one from the University of California at San Diego. So far, this year, George Bealer has accepted an offer from Texas, Luc Bovens from the London School of Economics, and Christopher Shields from Oxford (some of these faculty will technically be "on leave" from Colorado, so there is a chance they might return). In addition, Alan Carter now has an offer from La Trobe in Australia. Colorado did hire Dan Kaufman (early modern) from Florida this year, and will no doubt be doing other hiring next year to make up for some of these losses, actual or very likely.
