Maybe (but maybe not?) it’s worth noting that this is the first time that the philosophy department at Penn has hired a Penn Philosophy PhD to a tenured or TT position in…I’m not sure how long, but at least more than 25 years. (This is in contrast to the law school, the other place I know best at Penn, that has hired a decent number of Penn Law grads over the years.) This seems like a nice thing for Dr. Santana (and, I’d guess, also the philosophy department at Penn.) My congratulations to them both!
We are going to miss him at Utah. Penn is getting one hell of a researcher, teacher, and mentor. Congrats Carlos!
