At today's Congressional hearing: the Haas School of Business is “not a hotbed of anything but excellence.” I think this one will stick.

DeSaulnier also referenced the chancellor’s background at the Haas School of Business, saying it is “not a hotbed of anything but excellence.” DeSaulnier moved on to applaud UC Berkeley as “the best public university in the country, and probably the world.”

I am excited to be on the job market this year! Here is a quick thread on my JMP 👇 carolyntsao.com

Carolyn Tsao's job market paper investigates whether public school teachers earn rents. Her novel approach to quantifying rents explicitly takes both pay and the value of non-wage amenities into account. carolyntsao.github.io/website/teache…

I rather not be interrogated about my beliefs by masked individuals at checkpoints when walking around campus.

Wristbands are being used to identify anti-Israel students at @UCLA so that they are allowed to enter Royce Quad, Royce Hall, and Powell Library. Some students are allowed in and out, others are kept out. This is ILLEGAL and UCLA is not just tolerating it but facilitating it.



So proud of my fantastic student @tsaocaro
