Original Leiterreports post text:

Harvey Lederman (logic, epistemology, philosophy of language, Chinese philosophy), Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin, has accepted a senior offer from the Department of Philosophy at New York University, where he will start in 2026-27. That's a big catch for NYU, and a big loss for Texas (which will very likely drop out of the top ten in the U.S., but will, I expect, remain in the top 15).

Text in the style of Carrie Bradshaw, imposed over a photo of Carrie Bradshaw sitting at a laptop looking contemplative:

Harvey Lederman has accepted a senior offer from the Department of Philosophy at New York University, where he will start in 2026-27… And so I’m left here wondering: is Texas very likely to drop out of the top ten? Or is it certainty?
