[quote=Anonymous]One, James Buchanon, who received the Noble Prize in Economics in 1986 recently died.  Vernon Smith, who received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002 now teaches at Chapman University in Orange, CA.  Much of the work for which he received the Nobel Prize was completed at the University of Arizona.

Other noted current and past faculty at GMU:

Tyler Cowen - Economics
Peter Boettke - Economics
Seymour Martin Lipset - Poltical Science.  Being a PolySci major at another university who had to read Lipset, I was surprised to learn he taught at GMU prior to his death. 
Vasily Aksyonov - Prominent Soviet/Russian dissident and novelist taught Russian literature at GMU for 24 years.
Kanatzhan "Kanat" Alibekov aka Ken Alibek - former Soviet army colonel who ran the USSR's biological weapons program.  The profile I read of him in the New Yorker years back at this point and his description of what the USSR was doing was quite scary.  Immigrated to the U.S. in 1992.  He established GMU's biodefense master's program and its biosafety research facility.

The list goes on.  GMU has no problem attracting talent to teach and do research.
