Harvard Undergrads protest Economics Class

Next up:  Protests against Gravity, Winter and the use of the Participle.  Here.

Mankiw, who chaired the Council of Economic Advisers for President George W. Bush, says in a phone interview that about 5 to 10 percent of the 700-person lecture class (Harvard’s largest) walked out “very politely” just after noon on Wednesday.
