Philosopher DeRose Declines Notre Dame, To Remain at Yale

It looks like Keith DeRose (epistemology, philosophy of language, early modern philosophy, philosophy of religion) will be at Yale for the foreseeable future, as he has now officially declined the offer from the University of Notre Dame--a big break for Yale, needless to say.  This comes on the heels of offers declined by DeRose over the last couple of years also from Cornell, Arizona, and Rutgers.  Whether the Yale program will move back in to the top ranks will now turn on whether the efforts to recruit George Bealer (metaphysics, philosophy of language, epistemology) from Texas and Don Garrett (early modern) from NYU are successful.
