Ditto for the Economics Department at U-Mass Amherst. They've long been considered the most Marxist of any major econ department in the USA.

(And the faculty have generally been quite open about their full-blooded allegiance to Marx -- not so much inclined to hide behind deceptively polite words like "liberal" and "progressive.")

As Marx was wrong just about everything, we can therefore say the role of UMass is to perpetuate bad ideas.

Yes. The last place in the world you can find a real live communist is in a state university. (someone referred to the donors -- what donors? These guys leech off the taxpayer).

I recall one of them saying that the problem with Marxism is that it had not been tried with enough vigor. What a pity Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot weren't alive to defend their respective records. While I have points of disagreement with those three stooges, I can't fault them on vigor.
