In addition to the separate posts announcing (generally tenured) faculty moves, I will keep a running list of all lateral moves not reflected in the faculty lists for the last PGR (some moves that took place after the last PGR were reflected in the faculty list, because the editors knew of them). The year in parentheses at the end of each listing indicates the year the appointment (or retirement) takes effect. I will move this to the front periodically, putting recent additions in bold. Untenured lateral moves will be noted as such, otherwise the move is with tenure. A lateral move is one from one tenure-stream position to another either into or out of a program offering the PhD or terminal MA. In addition I will list retirements and also deaths of non-emeritus faculty. Please e-mail me with additions or corrections.

Obviously a number of these developments would likely change the 2021 PGR results in a new survey (which won't take place before 2023 or 2024). Many senior moves and retirements will affect a program's standing in the specialty rankings. Overall, students should think of Texas as now squarely in the top 15 in the U.S., and Johns Hopkins as now squarely in the top 25 (with the latter, I am also taking into account one lateral move that is not yet public). I would also expect North Carolina and CUNY, despite significant losses, to remain, respectively, in the top 15 and top 20; Arizona to still remain in the top 25; Wisconsin to stillremain in the top 30; and BU to still remain in the top 50.
