Harvard Restocks the Faculty Shelves

According to the Leiter Law School Reports:

In the last three years, Harvard has now hired eight faculty laterally to the tenured ranks:

Jody Freeman from the University of California, Los Angeles

Jack Goldsmith from the University of Virginia

Daryl Levinson from New York University

Bruce Mann from the University of Pennsylvania

John Manning from Columbia University

Gerald Neuman from Columbia University

Adrian Vermeule from the University of Chicago

Mark Tushnet from Georgetown University

A very, very impressive list, but only one woman in the bunch. Leiter also notes:

Other laterals Harvard is still purported to be considering (some have offers in hand) include Philip Bobbitt at the University of Texas at Austin; Noah Feldman at New York University; Michael Klarman at the University of Virginia; Martha Nussbaum at the University of Chicago, Richard Pildes at New York University; Cass Sunstein at the University of Chicago; and Jeremy Waldron at New York University.

So if all goes according to plan that would be two women, out of fifteen hires. Blech.
