Seventeen members of the economics department at Duke have come out in support of the indicted lacrosse players. We here at JLF have always know economists have more sense than most people. One anonymous commenter on KC Johnson’s blog points out one economics prof who isn’t on the list:
Michael Munger, who is chair of PoliSci, has a concurrent appointment
in Economics. He has made his own statement on his blog that he’s
against Nifong and the Group of 88, but for some reason hasn’t signed
this. It may be an oversight of some sort ? Munger is a bizarre
character.
Okay, so maybe economists are little bizarre, but they still have a lot of sense, mostly.
