Kenneth Winkler, a leading scholar of early modern philosophy (best-known for his work on Berkeley and Hume), has accepted the senior offer from Yale University, where he is presently a visiting professor from Wellesley College. With Winkler and Michael Della Rocca, a leading Spinoza scholar, Yale will be an extremeloy attractive choice for students interested in early modern philosophy.
Yale has also voted out an offer to Thomas Pogge (political philosophy) in the Political Science Department at Columbia University. (Yale also still has an offer oustanding to Ted Sider [metaphysics] at Rutgers.)
As a point of personal privilege, I'll note that Winkler is a Texas PhD (from before my time!), and his move to Yale makes him the fourth Texas PhD in a tenured or tenure-track position at a top 20ish department in the U.S. (the others are at NYU, Michigan, and Notre Dame).
