Weatherson, Maitra to Rutgers

Brian Weatherson (epistemology, philosophy of language, decision theory, metaphysics), Associate Professor of Philosophy at Cornell University, has accepted a tenured offer from the Department of Philosophy at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.  His partner Ishani Maitra (philosophy of language, feminist philosophy), Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Syracuse University, has accepted a tenure-track offer from the Departments of Philosophy at Rutgers University at New Brunswick and Newark (she will split 50/50 between the two).  Weatherson himself has further details.  Cornell's own recent lateral hires should keep the department in the top twenty, notwithstanding this latest blow.
