[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the number of Nobel prizes it won - it's more than the rest of the State combined. It's a world class university for blue collar workers . [/quote] GMU has won zero Nobel prizes. Buchanan won when he was at UVA and years later became GMU professor. Smith received the award while he was at George Mason, but it was for work He had done at Arizona. [/quote] DP. I have no affiliation with any of these schools, but your post is so petty, I had to respond. Out of curiosity, I looked up your claims. Buchanan won the Nobel in 1986 - [b]when he was a GMU professor.[/b] He left UVA in 1968. He was a distinguished professor of Economics at Virginia Tech for many years. He certainly didn't win the Nobel while at UVA. Nobel winners are considered affiliated with [b]the university at which the recipient wins the award[/b]. Thus, GMU can indeed claim both Buchanan and Smith as their Nobel winners.[/quote]
