Econ Club Minutes - May 25th

The Econ Club is progressing according to a plan. Here are the tasks that we decided on at the last meeting:

• Nick will wrestle control of the Facebook away from Patrick Emerson
• Vivian will look into having a presentation on graduate school next week if there is enough interest.
• Everyone will work on developing a library for the econ lab. Jesus/Joe will work on cleaning the shelf in the break room and eventually move it into the econ lab
• Jesus will send out an email about upcoming seminars
• Josh will work on keeping track of econ alumni  
• Jesus will run meetings more professionally
• Mervin is taking minutes at meetings
• Mervin will also evaluate whether Facebook or Blackboard is a better medium for the Club's communication
• Nick will hassle Mai to start going to the Econ Club again
• Pratchet is writing a rebuttal to the gender discrimination post that was posted on the barometer earlier this week

The price of failure is to purchase a YOLO coozie and bottle opener from Pratchet.

The gender wage gap not based on discrimination - The Daily Barometer

The gender wage gap not based on discrimination - The Daily Barometer

So this article was brought up at the last econ club meeting, and some of the members thought it would be interesting to write a rebuttal to this. Also, we may be able to convince the author of the article to go to the econ club next meeting.
