For prior years' Tax Prof Moves, see:

I am struck by the paucity of entry level hires and the relatively small number of "upward" lateral names, other than those occasioned by geography, personal status, etc. This seems particularly odd, for a year in which an unusual number of schools seemed to be looking in tax early on.
Is this because we don't have all the information yet? Or are an increasing number of schools simply deferring tax hiring, preferring to use adjuncts, etc. and spend their long-range funds in other areas? The low number of entry levels, in a feel where there should be many good candidates, is particularly striking.
I'm interested in people's views, on- or off-line.
