#179 – An Illegal Semester Abroad Feat. Marshall Steinbaum
Episode description
Greg and Jordan are joined by Marshall Steinbaum, a professor of economics from the University of Utah to discuss the university's decision to join in a partnership with Ariel University, an Israeli university that is located within the Ariel settlement which, according to the United Nations, European Union, and United States, is located on illegally occupied land. We discuss what this type of agreement means to Israel, the ongoing conflict, and the University's pledge to stay neutral in political topics.
In addition to that, we discuss the shooting at the Utah 50501 Protest in downtown SLC, the murder of two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers by a right-wing lunatic dressed as a cop, the Army parade, and the escalating situation in Israel.
