UW Econ Dept on hiring roll

<p>In the last year or so they have added 4 senior level top profs from UPenn, UMichigan, UTexas, and Northwestern plus 5 assistant level tenure track profs.</p>

<p>Most of that funding came from the Madison Initiative. Thanks Chancellor Martin.</p>

<p>The one from NU is the one who is just coming back to Wisconsin, right? Either way, that’s pretty impressive.</p>

<p>Correct I think. Same for a top Poli Sci guy. Went to U Chicago and came back a few years later.</p>
