Biased much?

Shenanigans at the U of Chicago. Film at 11.

(Thanks to mrmeval for reposting this from chuckles48).

Let's look at this, shall we, folks?

a) Dr Friedman spent 30 years teaching at the U of Chicago business school.
2> Dr Friedman is a Nobel Prize winner
iii] Dr Friedman created the "Chicago school" of economics.
D. Three Nobel-winning economists proposed the new institute.

So therefore, it is wrong to honor him with an economics institute named after him?

Oh, I see, it's because Friedman championed a more conservative form of free-market economic policy, criticizing governmental intervention, which has "given U of C a bad reputation in the academic world." Naturally it would be a disaster to attract fiscal conservatives to this facility, because that might show a lack of ideological diversity.

And liberals wonder why conservatives are so harsh to criticize academia.....

pounding sand, politics, tempests in teapots, current events
