Neil Buchanan, Economist & Legal Scholar

“I'll say whatever I want to say, under reasonable standards, and if they want to fire me for saying that there’s systemic racism in the U. S. housing market, then fine,” says economist, legal scholar, and professor Neil Buchanan in this week's episode of The Syllabus. Are UF professors fleeing the state? Is it harder to recruit new professors? Syllabus host Mark Oppenheimer asks Buchanan these tough questions, after Buchanan’s decision to leave the UF.
