Notre Dame Philosophy on the Move!

Notre Dame already has tenured offers outstanding to Hans Halvorson (philosophy of physics) at Princeton and Michael Potter (philosophy of math, logic, history of analytic philosophy) at Cambridge; now comes word that they have made a senior offer to Keith DeRose (epistemology, philosophy of language, early modern, philosophy of religion) at Yale, who may also be about to receive the prize for "most big ticket offers in the shortest period of time" (in the last several years, he has declined offers from Arizona, Cornell, and Rutgers).  I wouldn't be surprised if Keith accepts the Notre Dame offer.  Certainly students considering Yale will want to keep a close eye on this, since without DeRose, Yale will be in trouble.  And while landing DeRose, Halvorson, and Potter will surely push Notre Dame in to the proverbial "top ten," Notre Dame still has an enormous amount to offer prospective students in DeRose's areas even if he doesn't end up moving--though those looking at Notre Dame will also want to inquire about the status of these offers come April.
