Well, at least the citations of the most-cited authors according to Schwitzgebel. I only counted non-emeritus faculty, and credited the cites to any department where the philosopher has at least a half-time appointment. Here's the top 20:
1. New York University (570 citations, 14 faculty)
2. Princeton University (378 citations, 9 faculty)
3. City University of New York Graduate Center (292 citations, 6 faculty)
4. University of Pittsburgh (208 citations, 5 faculty)
5. Columbia University (202 citations, 4 faculty)
6. University of Texas, Austin (187 citations, 6 faculty)
7. Yale University (185 citations, 6 faculty)
8. Rutgers University, New Brunswick (176 citations, 5 faculty)
9. Oxford University (167 citations, 4 faculty)
10. Massachussetts Institute of Technology (163 citations, 4 faculty)
11. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (160 citations, 4 faculty)
12. Harvard University (153 citations, 3 faculty)
13. University of Southern California (150 citations, 4 faculty)
14. Stanford University (142 citations, 4 faculty)
15. University of Notre Dame (137 citations, 3 faculty)
16. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (128 citations, 3 faculty)
17. University of California, Berkeley (117 citations, 2 faculty)
18. Australian National University (110 citations, 3 faculty)
19. Duke University (102 citations, 2 faculty)
19. University of California, Los Angeles (102 citations, 2 faculty)
What this means, I don't really know. Certain areas are high-citation areas in SEP because of large numbers of entries: e.g., Language/Mind/M&E, Logic, Feminist Philosophy. Others seem to be less so. Kripke accounts for about 40% of the CUNY cites, but even noting that, CUNY still does really well thanks to Devitt, Priest, Godfrey-Smith, Papineau, and Prinz. Some departments would no doubt have made the list if Schwitzgebel had counted beyond the top 266. At Chicago, Martha Nussbaum, with 94 citations is almost in the top 20 all by herself, but after her the most cited Chicago faculty (using Schwitzgebel's methodology) did not make the top 266 (J. Lear with 16, Leiter with 11, and Pippin with 9). If we credited departments for smaller fractional appointment than half-time, NYU, Rutgers and Harvard would all get a Parfit boost, and UCSD, with N. Cartwright (who is there one quarter per year), would have made the top 20 (along with cites to Brink and Arneson).
