Louisville Loves Ayn Rand? Apparently So

By Michelle on August 8, 2008 | | Comments (0) | Education
Starting with the 2008-2009 academic the University of Louisville College of Business will be educating tomorrow's brilliant business minds on the economic philosophies of Ayn Rand. Yes, that Ayn Rand (and no spell check I do not want to change "Ayn" to "Any" but thanks for the suggestion).

The University of Louisville's College of Business has received a $1 million dollar grant to create a course and other activities based on the economic philosophy of the late Ayn Rand.

The grant comes from the BB&T Corporation, whose CEO, John Allison, calls Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged" "the best defense of capitalism ever written." Since 2005, the banking company has granted millions of dollars to more than 25 schools to teach students about Rand's philosophy of objectivism.
