What we found

Supports. The Yale FAS-SEAS Senate's 2023-24 committee pages list Jason Stanley, Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy, as a member of the Faculty Advancement Committee and the Budget Committee.[1]

Context. Yale primary sources show Stanley held a Yale professorship from 2013 until 2025, which places him as a Yale faculty member during the period the post describes.[2][3]

Context. The claimant's passage says 'at Yale, I was in the faculty senate'; this is the claimant's own statement and is used only to resolve the referent, not as corroboration.
