Snatching an international student off our streets who is lawfully in our Country and attending one of our Universities and then bundling her off to an ICE detention center 1,700 miles away without a hearing is a sickening reminder of the Gestapo-like conduct from another age. I have asked for a full status report from ICE on the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, a legally authorized Turkish student at Tufts University. I will request her immediate return to Massachusetts. 

We currently have about 80,000 foreign students attending more than 60 Colleges in the greater Boston/Cambridge area precisely because we have a reputation as a center of learning and intellectual, religious, and cultural tolerance. Let’s keep it that way.

@clivepafc Has anyone ever considered telling our forwards how offsides works?

[Jim Conklin @JimNConklin]

@OfficialFPL @charles_watts @YankeeGunner well, Clive did say we should be focusing more on assists 😂

@YankeeGunner I thought Raya actually played pretty well.

New version of a working paper with @LaurenlambieH and Kris Gerardi. I’m a little biased, but I think this is a really important topic 😁

Hey @econtwitter @AREUEA_ORG @UrbanEconomics,
I’m putting together a one credit First Year Odyssey (FYO) seminar on racial disparities in real estate markets. Any topics that you think I must cover? Any resource suggestions? 1/3

[Jim Conklin @JimNConklin]

(e.g., Rothstein’s "The Color of Law”; AJC’s “The Color of Money” articles; Yinger’s JEP “Evidence on Discrimination in Consumer Markets”). Technical journal articles probably won’t work.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions! 3/3

[Jim Conklin @JimNConklin]

FYO is designed to get first-year students engaged in the cultural and intellectual life of the University. Students will have no training in economics, so the topics covered and resources used need to be accessible to students with diverse backgrounds... 2/3

It would be so nice if employees at cash-only businesses were trained to give directions to *nearby* cash withdrawal 🤦‍♂️

@economeager @paulgp This paper looks at fraud in PPP. Underlying data is public and code is available to create the fraud measure:

@stroebel_econ These short paper outlets are great for the field. I love the “up or out” editorial decisions too.

@AFTVMedia How is that called on white, but no foul for saka?
