what about JLW?
I think he would ordinarily have been scheduled to go up at the same time as ML, but he got a special deal to retain him against UCLA a while back that may have affected his clock
UChicago junior faculty
-
He won't leave UC because his wife is a biologist at Chicago, and from what I understand, she's comfortable and happy at Chicago (which is to say, nobody from UCLA is biting).
She got early tenure out of the UCLA interest, it wanted both of them
As someone with insider information, I can tell you straight up this is untrue. And in any case, JLW will not be getting tenure.

He will be tenured, no question. The id-iot jackals here notwithstanding.

did DK and ML get tenure?
You'll probably get answers to that question here, but a) there's a good chance they'll be random BS or disinfo and b) since you're asking the question here, you obviously lack any inside information that would allow you to correctly identify BS/disinfo. You're just begging to be misled. What does this accomplish for you?

ML's case will probably hinge on what senior faculty think about his second book project--both its promise and how far along it is. The publication record is strong enough to win tenure if evaluation of his next project is positive, but not so strong that he's going to get it without that positive evaluation. This aspect of his record is not, obviously, discernable from publicly available information.

How is his publication record strong enough? He’s not published much at all. He started grad school almost two decades ago.

It's a book with an top press and (at least) 5 articles in good outlets, including a top 3 and top subfield. That's enough--if they like the work and like the pipeline. (If they don't, it could be used against him.) The year he started grad is completely irrelevant, this isn't going to be a bean-counting decision.
