L awrence J ournal -W orld in seed money to create the center, of which he has been director from the beginning. Over the years, his salary and a number of center research projects — reports from which are posted on the center’s website, including the authors and their bios — were largely funded by Koch Foundation donations. Hall said the Koch Foundation donations have primarily been open-ended and that he has the discretion to use funds as he likes, although the foundation is not the sole funder of the center. Other entities have given to the KU Endowment funds for it, as well. One fund is called the KU Center for Applied Economics Fund, and the other fund — primarily used for stipends given to other economists who prepare reports for the center — is called the Kansas Economic Reform Initiative Fund. Hall is the center’s only employee, and paying him is its main expense, he said. Now, he said, most of his salary comes from KU for teaching classes. According to KU’s fiscal year 2016 budget, Hall’s salary is $111,000, with $97,000 coming from KU and $14,000 from private funds. He also teaches in the summer, he said, and is paid separately for that. Hall said the Koch Foundation was not influencing what he taught or the research he does for the center, though they share the same political views. “I will tell you unabashedly, I believe markets work,” Hall said. He said his managerial economics course doesn’t involve ideology, and he stressed that all reports prepared by and for the center are transparent. “They follow the evidence, and anybody is free to create a report contradicting my report. This is the academic freedom part,” Hall said. “They are out there for public consumption and anybody can engage them. I take my reputation very seriously, and I also take KU’s reputation very seriously.”
