How do you find good researchers to hire and get them through the tenure process?<p>The trouble here is that opportunistic anonymity is not enough. You need <i>guaranteed</i> anonymity, that even if someone tries to leak information about the connection between a researcher and their work (intentionally or unintentionally), it won&#x27;t work. Otherwise social pressure will be in favor of those leaks: e.g. faculty who do hiring will take their knowledge of what researchers are really working on in account when they look at researchers to collaborate with.<p>And I don&#x27;t see a tractable way to achieve guaranteed anonymity.
