Hypothesis: The criterion for academic stardom is whether the university that wants to hire you will hire your partner, too, in order to get you.

So everything comes together (a quote from the comments on the Stanford newspaper article, about a UChicago professor going to Stanford):

“In addition, it is interesting to note that Tanya Luhrmann, the new faculty mentioned in the article, is the spouse of Stanford’s new dean of H&S.”

Could it be that to anyone unaffiliated with Stanford and uninterested in the esoteric, internicine politics of the still rather small tribe of anthropologists, the Stanford story is scan and skip? While, yes, tens of thousands of academic couples are (or have been) affected by the difficulty of finding jobs for both partners that are (a) good jobs for both partners and (b) close enough to allow them to live together? Not to mention tens of thousands more non-academic couples, in which both partners are seeking success in professional careers? Which any decent editor will tell you makes this story news?
