Current Issues in Economics
This Freshman Learning Community will deal with numerous policy questions that are currently being debated at the state, regional, and national level. Through persuasive arguments, built on sound economic reasoning, we will seek to help add to these policy debates in some meaningful fashion. We will address questions about Subprime Mortgages, Poverty, Presidential Politics, the Environment, the Alabama Constitution, and many more.
The community is facilitated by Dr. Gary Hoover, Assistant Professor: Economics, Finance and Legal Studies. Courses connected with this community include English 101, Economics 110, Freshman Compass (GBA 145), and Math.
