Gary Ebbs (philosophy of language, history of analytic philosophy, epistemology) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has accepted a senior offer from Indiana University, Bloomington (to start in fall 2006); he is the fourth Illinois professor in recent years to make the move to Bloomington (others are Kate Abramson [early modern], Marcia Baron [ethics, Kant], and Frederick Schmitt [epistemology]).  Illinois, which slipped out of the PGR top 50 last year, is now in rather desperate shape.
