My son-in-law’s Dad is also a professor of Economics at M.I.T and is stunned that Gruber opened his yap the way he did.
I will tell you this. MIT Is examining ANY connection they have with GRUBER and the contracts he has or had that place them in jeopardy.
I worked for a university system for 30 years and the legal departments are not there to protect professors. They are they to protect the institution above all else. They will throw him under the bus if it looks like they could be held liable for anything. That is a certainty in my book.
