In the 1970s, conglomerate Fuqua Industries acquired TSC, further diluting the retailer's focus.

Hart, chair of the economics department, told The Crimson. “I think it’s good for students to voice their concerns.” That’s a crock.

Neugeboren’s last three CUE Guide ratings for Economics 1050, “Strategy, Conflict and Cooperation” all had students complaining of disorganization. Though CUE rankings can be biased...
