Mallory SoRelle Assistant Professor of the Sanford School of Public Policy

The new interim director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has effectively issued a stop work order to staff at the federal government’s only agency designed specifically to look out for American borrowers’ best interests. In an email, staff were instructed to cease all ongoing work on rule-making, investigations, enforcement, supervision and other activities that they are tasked by Congress with carrying out. Mallory SoRelle, an Assistant Professor at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the consequences of the move on the American public.
