Financial Regulation Public Forum

As we pull ourselves out of the recent recession, and begin to look forward, our national leaders are assessing the causes and considering what can be done to prevent another such downturn. Do we need more or less federal regulation of the financial sector? Should we pull the 1930s Glass-Steagall banking regulations out of mothballs? Do we need instead to look toward global regulation?

On Tuesday, March 2, at the University Alumni and Advancement Center, there was a panel discussion on financial regulation.

The distinguished panel included:

• Daniel J. Burnside, lecturer in finance, Simon Graduate School of Business and vice president director of Quantitative Research, Federated Clover Investment Advisors
• Joel Seligman, president, University of Rochester
• Clifford W. Smith Jr., Louise and Henry Epstein Professor of Business Administration and professor of finance and economics, Simon Graduate School of Business
• Toni M. Whited, Michael and Diane Jones Professor of Business Administration and professor of finance
