GMU senior here. I am majoring in Computer engineering. You’re getting a lot of back and forth from what I can see in the comments. I haven’t read the book you sourced but I definitely want to check it out.

The main reason why I’m writing this comment is because I wanted to state that one of our course requirements as an engineer was to take an introduction to microeconomics course. I don’t have a problem with this at all, however, this course felt very detached from reality and knowing what I know now about that course and the Professor, I wish I didn’t have to take it or I took it with another professor.

It was highly encouraged that we took it our first semester and many often WORSHIPED this professor claiming the minimum wage should be 0 and that John Rockefeller was not a monopolist. The tests as you kinda state earlier were definitely a “circle this opinion the professor has from the textbook he wrote” kinda questions.

Beyond this single course, as an engineer, I never felt like the information I was receiving was inaccurate or outdated or misleading but I can definitely see from that course alone that there were definitely professors on campus that would have the capability to create these nuts courses with very little repercussions.

Finally, I wanted to say that there are most definitely left leaning professors all over campus and in fact, I’d bet they make up the majority of staff here. In fact, I took an honors course at one point with a professor who was a Marxist scholar and had similar feelings as stated earlier about extreme opinions disrupted the encouragement of debate in a sensible ways. These professors are few and far between and can almost always be avoided. If you have any questions, please DM or reply to me.
