Harbaugh Makes the Weekly
I was somewhat surprised to see a “Slant” blurb (down at the bottom) to University of Oregon Professor of Economics and friend of the Commentator Bill Harbaugh in the Eugene Weekly, advertising the good professor’s “new blog”, complete with writings ranging from “neuroeconomics (what’s that?) to improving access to Oregon public records” and “quirky” comments from his students.
After having a look at the site they linked to, I’ve come to the conclusion that either I’m totally missing something or whoever writes the Weekly’s “Slant” section simply has no idea what a “blog” actually is (hint: it’s not hip new slang for “home page”). As far as I can tell, the “quirky” student comments appear to be drawn from end-of-term class evaluations.
Nevertheless, kudos to the Weekly for giving a shout-out to Harbaugh.
