Alan Code, one of the leading scholars of ancient philosophy in the English-speaking world, who is currently at the University of California at Berkeley, has accepted appointment as Board of Governors Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University at New Brunswick, effective the fall of 2007.  That’s both a significant loss for Berkeley and a major appointment for Rutgers, which will strengthen its presence in history of philosophy, especially ancient (Code will join Robert Bolton, a well-known scholar of ancient philosophy, who has been a long-time member of the Rutgers Department).
