NEA-L (Patrick L. Mason, list manager) has a large number of African American economists. The list has no official tie with the National Economics Association, which publishes the Review of Black Political Economy. Anyway, the proposition below has received some support among NEA-L members and I'd like to know the reaction of OPE-L members. Please send you posts to directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] since this really isn't a topic of direct relevance to OPE-L. Also, please forward to femecon, pen-l, and other groups which might be interested in the issue. peace, patrick l mason >Given California's approval of prop 209, should we begin lobbying for west >coast ASSA conventions to be held somewhere other than California.
