Podcast appearances and mentions of robert zicklin center

Join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity and Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship on February 5th as we welcome Lew Frankfort, former CEO and Chairman Emeritus of Coach, to Baruch College. Frankfort will reflect on his remarkable professional journey, from his early career in New York City government to leading Coach for nearly three decades and transforming it from a six million dollar leather goods business into a five billion dollar global lifestyle brand. The fireside chat, moderated by Marlene Leekang, Executive Director of the Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship, will draw from Frankfort's memoir Bag Man, which chronicles how Coach pioneered the concept of accessible luxury and redefined an industry through relentless focus on the customer, bold strategic choices, and a willingness to challenge convention. Frankfort also explores the personal side of leadership, including how fear of failure can fuel success while demanding a personal toll. The fireside chat will be followed by a live question and answer session, offering students a unique opportunity to engage directly with one of the most respected business leaders of his generation.

Join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity for a timely and thought-provoking discussion on how some of the nation's largest law firms navigated the legal and ethical challenges in the wake of the Trump Administration's retaliatory actions against them. The program will feature Rebecca Roiphe, leading voice in criminal law and ethics; rights litigator; Christopher J. Clark, pre-eminent litigator; and Ankush Khardori, senior writer and columnist at Politico. They will explore how Big Law balanced client demands, public scrutiny, legal ethics and questions of professional responsibility during one of the most tumultuous political periods in recent history.

As part of Baruch College's annual Ethics Week, the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity is proud to welcome Stephanie Cuba for an event titled “Navigating Professional Growth and Workplace Best Practices.” This event will explore the intersection of professional development and workplace hygiene. Professional development refers to the continuous process of acquiring skills, knowledge, and experience to enhance one's career growth and effectiveness in the workplace. This includes communication skills, leadership abilities, networking, and adapting to industry trends. Workplace hygiene involves the standards and behaviors that contribute to a professional, respectful, and efficient work environment. This encompasses everything from organizational skills and professional communication to ethical decision-making and workplace etiquette. While the primary focus of this talk will be on the best practices for professional growth and workplace conduct, the discussion will also touch on the ethical implications of these practices. By the end of the event, attendees will walk away with actionable strategies for navigating the challenges that arise in the pursuit of career excellence.

Corporate leaders encounter significant challenges when addressing public debates on contentious topics. They must strike a balance between the pressures to speak out or remain silent while navigating the polarized nature of today's discourse and the powerful, diverse interests of shareholders, employees, consumers, and civil society groups. Join the Robert Zicklin Center for a talk featuring Lawrence Cunningham, Director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. Mr. Cunningham will argue that corporate leaders should adopt a pragmatic approach rather than adhering to a fixed or ideological stance on whether to take public positions. He will emphasize evaluating the specific context and circumstances of each situation. By drawing on the history and law of corporate governance, as well as practical experience, Cunningham will demonstrate that the best strategy for each board and CEO will vary based on the unique characteristics of their corporation, its leadership, its shareholder base, its workforce, the markets it serves, and how these factors interact with public debates.

It has long been clear that the successful distribution of effective vaccines worldwide is our best hope for ending the Covid-19 pandemic. The extremely effective vaccines were mostly developed through the collaboration of for-profit pharmaceutical companies and the governments of several rich nations. By now, most well-off industrialized states have inoculated substantial percentages of their populations, but dozens of poorer countries have woefully inadequate supplies of vaccines and, without some kind of outside assistance, cannot come close to reaching the kind of numbers that will put an end to the disease. In the meantime, the pandemic is out of control in much of the world and, as a result, persists in even the most affluent countries as well. While the US and other governments have donated over 1 billion doses to countries in crisis, billions more are still needed. Many organizations advocating for fairer distribution of health care have argued for the waiver of patent rights to the vaccines so that poor countries could begin to manufacture them on their own. Nonetheless, adhering to a long-standing tradition that protects the intellectual property rights of companies that develop new medical technologies, the US and other nations have so far been reluctant to share the scientific know-how to make this possible. Further, even if the patent rights were waived, poorer countries would likely need additional assistance in building the manufacturing infrastructure to satisfy the demand. The Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity at Baruch College is pleased to host an online conversation with Dr. Arthur Caplan, one of the world's leading medical ethicists, to discuss how the rich countries of the world should respond to the vaccine shortfall around the world from both an ethical and practical point of view. Dr. Caplan will be interviewed by Baruch College Management Professor Alex Mills who will bring his expertise in operations and supply chains into the discussion as well.

Zoombombing, Cambridge Analytica, AI bias, misinformation, hate speech…when tech companies and researchers come under fire, people wonder: why are they not thinking about potential harms? Unintended consequences of technology are a significant social issue, and when we “move fast and break things” it's ethical considerations that often get pushed to the side. Like technical debt, the implied cost of future bug fixes when we rush to release technology, ethical debt is what we accumulate when we don't consider ethical and social implications during the design process. How can we help technologists speculate about the future? Also how might we understand real impacts of technological harms on everyone, and give everyone the knowledge and tools to be more critical of technology? Join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity on March 1, 2022 as we welcome Casey Fiesler for a moderated discussion with Professor Yafit Lev-Aretz, Director of the Robert Zicklin Center's Program on Tech Ethics.

The federal legislation known as The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) outlawed sports betting throughout the United States except in Nevada, Oregon, Delaware and Montana. In 2018, after years of frustration among other states that wanted to legalize sports gambling within their borders, the US Supreme Court overturned PASPA – holding that the PASPA violated the anti-commandeering doctrine of the 10th Amendment. This decision opened the doors for many other states to begin licensing sports gambling operators. Last month, New York became the latest state to legalize online sports gambling – a decision that has been praised by libertarians and sports gambling operators alike, meanwhile criticized by certain other groups. Join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity on Wednesday, February 9, 2022 at 12:30 PM as Baruch College law professor Marc Edelman – our Director of Sports Business Ethics – leads a discussion with Professor Alicia Jessop of Pepperdine University, Professor John Holden of Oklahoma State University, Professor Keith Miller of Drake University and Jim Maney, Executive Director of the New York Council on Problem Gambling, on the law and ethics of legal sports gambling in New York.

As of July 1, 2021, 130 countries have agreed to a proposed Global Minimum Corporate Tax (GMCT). Successful implementation of such a standard will close loopholes that have allowed large multinational companies to avoid paying taxes even in countries in which they do substantial business. According to some estimates, a GMCT would help governments recover between 100-240 billion dollars annually in taxes that companies have avoided paying through complicated tax avoidance schemes. While a final practical set of rules is still under negotiation, the framework of an agreement is in place. Join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity virtually on September 2nd as we welcome a panel of experts who will discuss the recent progress that has been made toward a GMCT, the prospects for its success and the implications it will have on economies worldwide.

North American sports teams are rife with Native American themed nicknames, mascots and logos. Many Americans don't think twice about this fact. For many others, these team names and associated imagery are an added insult in the cruel history and present struggles of our continent's indigenous people. On September 16, 2016, The Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity hosted a group of experts for a program entitled “Native American Imagery in North American Sports: Fair or Foul?” to examine this very topic. Opinion was divided as to what – if any – changes should be made. Fast forward nearly four years and there appears to be a strong sentiment toward a complete reexamining the use of Native American culture in sports. What accounts for the apparent shift in opinion in recent weeks? What changes are in the works for pro-sports? What work remains to be done? How can Native Americans impact the future use of their cultural heritage going forward? On Wednesday, August 12, 2020, we will reconvene several members of our expert panel in a search for answers to these and other related questions. If you are interested civil rights, freedom of expression or the role of sports in current political activism, please consider joining us.

"Regional food systems are a powerful lever for sustainable economic development, healthier lifestyles, and more environmentally sound systems of production and consumption – from field to fork and beyond. As in other parts of the country and world, in New York City and State there is growing interest and engagement in developing more robust urban-rural bonds through cooperative public, private and NGO-driven initiatives. A key question: How can such innovative collaborations be sustainable, resilient and advance climate adaptation efforts in urban and rural communities over the long run? Developing conducive and supportive business and economic dynamics is a key dimension of such initiatives, which also can profoundly improve communication and collaboration among disparate parties, helping rural and urban populations better understand that each fundamentally depends on the other. By ‘following the money,' from farm to table and back, we may better infer the working dynamics of building viable, resilient regional food and agriculture enterprises to support cohesive urban-rural relationships and advance human and environmental sustainability and well-being. As New York City and State continue to put forward strategies in support of more robust linkages between upstate farmers and downstate consumers, including public institutions, this public forum will explore what economic aspects should be considered and how future initiatives and policies can reflect them. It will also explore the growing interest of companies, even those in sectors beyond food, in agricultural well-being. On November 19, 2019 join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity (RZCCI), the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute, the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center and invited experts to explore these and other key questions for our local and regional food economy."

Operation Perfect Hedge was an one of the most successful and aggressive investigations into wrongdoing on Wall Street. It would bring down billionaires, hedge fund managers, lawyers and members of boards of directors who had traded on confidential information. It would redefine the area of compliance and change the hedge fund industry forever. At the center of this investigation, was Roomy Khan, who had made her way on Wall street as an analyst and trader in high technology stocks. She cooperated with the federal government for over 6 years during which she expounded the mechanics of the financial industry, various conduits of information and ultimately testified in federal court. She was personally charged with wire fraud and insider trading and she served 1 year in the federal prison. Roomy's case and her role have been cited extensively in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and on major television business networks such as CNBC., research papers and media. Now she is telling her story at business schools and other venues. Roomy aims to share her cautionary tale and industry insights to educate audience and prepare them to face ethical challenges in the business world. Join the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity for this luncheon program on October 20th when Roomy is joined by Walter Pavlo, a Contributor to Forbes.com and consultant on white collar crime.

From the Washington Redskins to the Cleveland Indians. From the Florida State Seminoles to the University of Illinois Fighting Illini. North American sports teams are rife with Native American themed nicknames, mascots and logos. Many Americans don't think twice about this fact. However, for many others, these team names and associated imagery are an added insult in the cruel history of our nation's indigenous people. They see their culture bastardized and their traditions mocked as professional and collegiate teams seemingly appropriate Native American identity to sell tickets and merchandise.

Income inequality is the topic of the day globally, throughout the nation and in New York City. The World Economic Forum's Global Risks 2014 report notes that “Widening gaps between the richest and poorest citizens threaten social and political stability as well as economic development.” In his 2014 State of the Union address, President Obama said “…corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened.” Here in New York City, Mayor de Blasio was elected in large-part due to his criticism of “the two New Yorks” and his promises to work to combat the increasing income disparity in this city. What will it take to turn de Blasio's rhetoric into reality? Can he substantially improve life in New York City for the nearly 2 million residents living below the poverty line? Can he protect and restore the disappearing middle class? Can the Mayor accomplish all of this without alienating Wall Street and other industries crucial to the city's economy? Can he keep the city solvent and avoid a repeat of the catastrophic budget failures that have plagued the city's past? The Sustainability Practice Network and Baruch College's Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity convene a panel to address these questions and more.

Inequality has deepened.” Here in New York City, Mayor de Blasio was elected in large-part due to his criticism of “the two New Yorks” and his promises to work to combat the increasing income disparity in this city. What will it take to turn de Blasio's rhetoric into reality? Can he substantially improve life in New York City for the nearly 2 million residents living below the poverty line? Can he protect and restore the disappearing middle class? Can the Mayor accomplish all of this without alienating Wall Street and other industries crucial to the city's economy? Can he keep the city solvent and avoid a repeat of the catastrophic budget failures that have plagued the city's past? The Sustainability Practice Network and Baruch College's Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity convene a panel to address these questions and more.

The Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity at Baruch College presents a public lecture by former U.S. Congressman Bob Inglis, director of the Energy and Enterprise Initiative (E & EI), who speaks about climate change and how free enterprise can help solve the U.S. energy and climate challenges. Inglis explains that the E & EI proposed solution is through a true cost comparison between competing fuels and a revenue-neutral tax swap that shifts taxes off of income and capital and onto carbon dioxide. The free enterprise system, he argues, would deliver innovation faster and more efficiently than government mandates, incentives or regulations, and drive economic growth.
