In a web based meeting today, CSFME's Executive Director Ed Blount and Senior Policy Analyst David Schwartz met with a group of Fordham University's graduate and undergraduate business students to invite them to participate in the real world of regulatory policy. The focus of this meeting was the Financial Stability Board's recent proposal regarding the "Assessment Methodologies for Identifying Non-Bank Non-Insurer Global SIFIs." After a brief discussion of some of the goals of the FSB's proposal and some the most provocative issues raised by the consultative document, Messrs. Blount and Schwartz challenged the students to research and formulate their own positions on the consultative document with an eye on submitting formal comment letters to the FSB.
This web-based meeting was part of CSFME's Regulatory Outreach for Student Education (ROSE) program designed to give college students studying business and economics the opportunity to meet financial policy makers and regulators, and experience some practical application of what they are learning in their classes.
