Who Exactly Ruined the Workplace, Including the Economics Profession?

Cornell's agreement actually explicitly restored academic freedom but it allows gov access to anonymized admission data (but not set the criteria). Now would be a great time to stop legacy admission practices across the ivies and other top private universities.

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
