MAY 17 UPDATE: The new version is here. Post all comments there as well.
MOVING TO FRONT FROM MAY 12
I'm uploading a new version, and creating a new comments section (no anonymous posts--and post your corrections here, please don't e-mail me), of the draft faculty lists for the fall 2006 PGR surveys: Download pgr_faculty_lists_for_2006.doc. Please read the intro material carefully. This list reflects the several dozen corrections already received--many thanks!
Two points worth noting.
"Affiliated Faculty" are faculty listed on departmental homepages under various headings (associates, cooperating, sometimes affiliated) who provide fairly regular instruction and supervision of PhD students in philosophy. So far, the evidence suggests that the affiliated faculty lists are genuine, i.e., the faculty really fulfill these purposes. But please do not suggest affiliated faculty for a department of which you are not a member; and if it is a suggestion for a department of which you are a member, make sure that your departmental homepage reflects (or is going to reflect) that fact. (In some cases, I've added affiliated faculty based on representations that the affiliated faculty have been voted on by the department, and will show up on the faculty rosters in due course.) There are, for example, many philosophers in other units at many schools, and the fact that some of departments choose not to list them or advertise them to prospective PhD students in philosophy is a significant fact.
I had thought about adding a category for "emeritus faculty still doing some teaching and supervision," but it became clear quickly that for this category to work would require impossible amounts of investigation of individual situations (whose actual character might be impossible to ascertain from afar), plus creating bad incentives for departments to misrepresent their teaching staff. Therefore, we are sticking with the previous bright line rule: faculty who take emeritus/emerita status are excluded. Those faculty have no obligations to teach and no obligations to supervise students or take on new students, a quite serious fact from the standpoint of prospective students. Under those circumstances, they should not be listed as members of the regular faculty.
