I was at this conference back in my academic days dinner with a cluster of GMU junior faculty and researchers. luckily zero economists, all pretty firmly left politics. the most outspoken one introduced his school as being "the modern proving ground of all academic and scientific corruption in the US. when you look at a map of how right-wing dark money from the Kochs flows through the academy, GMU is always where the process is prototyped and developed for mass replication elsewhere."
he was pretty funny in that deadpan. he had spent the last several years looking at the political economy and critical geography of energy leases or something grim like that in central Appalachia.
It is pitiful, their engineering department also has a pretty direct pipeline to defense contractors / 3-letter agencies.
