Gary Watson (ethics, philosophy of action) at the University of California at Riverside will take emeritus status there and take up a full-time post in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, where, with Kadri Vihvelin, George Wilson and Gideon Yaffe, he will help give USC one of the strongest philosophy of action cohorts in the U.S. Even with Watson's retirement, UCR's other strong appointments this year still make a strong top 30 (perhaps top 25) showing in next fall's reputational surveys extremely likely. (With John Martin Fischer remaining, UCR will, of course, remain a top choice for those interested in philosophy of action as well.)
