We are concerned, as a department, about the recent behaviour of Professor Brian Leiter, editor of the Philosophical Gourmet Report, towards other members of our profession. For some background on the behaviour in question, see, for example:

As a department, we hereby request that our department not be evaluated as part of any future edition of the Philosophical Gourmet Report, whilst that edition is edited by (or is co-edited by, is advised by, or has on its advisory panel) Professor Leiter.
As a department, we will not use our ranking in previous editions of the Philosophical Gourmet Report as part of our future advertising, including on our website, and at undergraduate and postgraduate open days.
