Split the Baby - then Get Rid of One Half

(via Ezra) The Notre Dame economics department was apparently in a tussle back in '03 ... split between traditional economists and heterodox scholars. So, UND actually created two departments! One for the mainstream profs, and another for the heterodox profs. Well, Notre Dame just announced that they're dissolving the department of dissidents.

Seems like after the economic debacle of the past year the last thing we need to solidify neoclassical ideology in the field of economics.
