USC offer to Byrne

Alex Byne has been offered a position at the rapidly improving Department of Philosophy at the University of Southern California. So now he has to decide between Boston, Princeton, and Los Angeles. Though I’d love to have him nearby, Alex has been a crucial figure in graduate education at MIT in the last decade, and I’m really pulling for my Alma Mater to retain him (realizing full well that Alex’s chances of getting a film cameo as a philosophy professor are slim to none if he stays in Boston).
