Illinois makes bid for two tenured faculty at Syracuse (UPDATE: they have accepted!)

MOVING TO FRONT FROM MARCH 7--UPDATED

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has made senior offers to two tenured philosophers at Syracuse University:  Luvell Anderson (philosophy of language, philosophy of race, aesthetics) and Verena Erlenbusch-Anderson (political philosophy, contemporary European philosophy) (the latter offer is joint with Political Science at Illinois).  This is part of a re-building effort at Illinois over the last two yeras.  Students considering either Illinois or Syracuse will want to keep an eye on what happens.

UPDATE:   Professors Anderson and Erlenbusch-Anderson have accepted the Illinois offer!
