MOVING TO FRONT WITH SOME CORRECTIONS/ADDITIONS–BEAR IN MIND THAT THE DIRECTORY LISTING MAY NOT HAVE CORRESPONDED PERFECTLY TO THE ACTUAL FACULTY ROSTERS FOR 1990-91

We did this once before, but I recently found my old Directory of American Philosophers for 1990-91.  Here are the assistant professors at roughly "the top 15" (really 18) programs 20-odd years ago, and where they are now.  In parentheses following the school name I list five representative senior faculty there at the time.   Perhaps this will be instructive about the many professional trajectories that philosophers follow.  Bear in mind, of course, that the junior faculty here moved for all kinds of reasons–some were denied tenure, some left before tenure for personal or professional reasons, some left after tenure for personal or professional reasons, and so on.
