Do US colleges have courses on the US financial crisis of 2007-2008?

I just saw the documentary "Inside Job" and was wondering if US colleges teach about how the financial crisis went down, especially Harvard where Larry Summers was President of Harvard?

Not sure about other colleges, but to my knowledge they don't have a specific class on the financial crisis in the Economics Department at RIT.

That being said, a number of professors have touched on what went down throughout a number of courses.

Maybe widen the scope of your question: What are the best sources for learning more about the 2008 financial crisis?
The banks wouldn't allow this type of education, we will be doomed to repeat!
