Not in a million years would I have thought universities mobilized riot cops to deal with student protestors. This is disgraceful.

Black workers in large US cities live closer to jobs and “good” jobs than whites, suggesting that spatial mismatch is unlikely to be a major source of racial earnings gaps, from David Card, @rothstein_jesse, and @MoisesYi3 https://t.co/PmKIp0PvzM
