MOVING TO FRONT FROM OCTOBER 6–UPDATED

David Schmidtz (political philosophy), a longtime member of the philosophy faculty at the University of Arizona, where he also founded the Freedom Center and helped establish a Department of Political Economy and Moral Sciences, will take up the Presidential Chair of Moral Science at West Virginia University’s Chambers College of Business and Economics, effective January 1, 2023.  That's a big loss for Arizona, and big catch for WVU.

ADDENDUM:  The untimely death of Jerry Gaus a couple of years ago, and now the loss of David Schmidtz, mean Arizona will no longer dominate Anglophone political philosophy PhD programs, as it once did, but it's worth emphasizing that the department still remains quite strong in this area with Thomas Christiano, Steven Wall, and, part-time, Allen Buchanan, among others.

UPDATE:   Professor Schmidtz may remain quarter-time, and spend summers, at the University of Arizona, possibly teaching and also supervising PhD students.
