The City University of New York still lacks a free institutions program, and Professor Thomas J. Main of Baruch College is aiming to close the gap. 15 months ago Main came within a hair's breadth of finding funding, but the '08 stock market collapse crushed the grant. Now, another foundation has offered Main some seed capital, and he has requested course proposals from about ten faculty around CUNY. Among the courses being proposed are "Institutions and Economic Growth", "Liberty and Equality in American Constitutionalism", and "Federalism in American Government". Let us root for Professor Main's success in this worthy undertaking.
