Although considering the cast of characters, that could stand for "Might Be Arbitrated."

The OP said BA, so I just fell in line. At Penn, to graduate with a degree in the Humanities, as I did, you needed to complete three successful semesters each in the natural sciences and the social sciences. For one semester of my social sciences, I took Economics 101, which was taught at the Wharton building on Locust Walk. My Prof was a very nice, cool guy, who, on the first day, said, "I will be your professor for this semester. My name is not "Professor," that is my profession. Please do not call me that. My name is Bill, so please call me that." We thought, how cool, this is going to be a fun course. He was a wonderful guy, but his course was tough as nails. I doubt Trump had him, or he would have been flunked out after the first exam.
