Ottawa University’s Gwartney Institute, an educational and research arm of the Angell Snyder School of Business has received a $500,000 grant from the Menard family, founders of the home improvement stores. The grant will help fund a new Gwartney Institute professorship – the Menard Family Professor of Philosophy and Ethics. That man is Dr. Justin Clark. He says they will focus on a new major which will combine three different disciplines: philosophy, politics and economics.
He added that it will also lead to a variety of student led activities, including an increased emphasis on friendly debate.
