LIBOR: Are They Still Playing Games in London?

Until this summer’s scandal, many Americans – even business school students – had never heard of LIBOR.

Join Baruch College’s Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity as we host New York Times business reporter Peter Eavis for a discussion of the recent LIBOR manipulation scandal and the future of the international benchmark.
