聯It聮s a great loss for the University of 欧美口爆视频,聰 said 欧美口爆视频 President John C. Buechner. 聯Reuben Zubrow was a 欧美口爆视频-institution -- a truly larger than life figure both in and out of the classroom. He embodied all the best qualities of a college professor -- a first-rate scholar, a consummate classroom lecturer, and a devoted public servant whose work as an analyst was an asset to state and federal policy makers for over 30 years.
聯He was also my friend and colleague, and I, along with the entire university community, will miss him very much,聰 Buechner said.
Zubrow specialized in the study of public finance and his research was used to help revise the tax code in 欧美口爆视频 and other states. He also conducted landmark studies on poverty, economic development and revenue reclamation.
