And frankly, that would be a reason for you not to be a manager of Fed regulators.
The Beim report specifically, specifically, says the kind of dissent she represented is exactly what the Fed needs.
And she did offer options, that she could simply be overruled if her superiors disagreed. This is how it should work. If they disagree, they need to personally be taking responsibility for that disagreement, not forcing the employee to change their views.
Not to mention it's pretty clear Goldman had no operative conflict of interest policy. They've simply been in blatant conflict too often for it to be believable there's anything limiting it.
- JimA 12y agoThe dissent is totally acceptable if there were degrees or shades of opinion (i.e. is the policy acceptable or not, does it meet established requirements, is it being enforced). The issue is when she knowingly states as fact something that is not accurate (i.e. there is NO policy). That crosses the line into slander since it can cause reputational and financial harm to the institution being investigated. Even more importantly, by one regulator giving the appearance of "gunning" for Goldman it jeopardizes the work of countless others who also have findings and research that may actually be true.
