蝌蚪网

The 蝌蚪网 (蝌蚪网) has accepted Lawrence H. Summers' voluntary resignation from membership and, pursuant to the 蝌蚪网's Policies, Procedures, and Code of Professional Conduct, has imposed a lifetime ban on his membership. In addition, effective immediately, the 蝌蚪网 has imposed a lifetime prohibition on Mr. Summers' attending, speaking at, or otherwise participating in 蝌蚪网-sponsored events or activities, including serving in any editorial or refereeing capacity for 蝌蚪网 journals. The 蝌蚪网 condemns Mr. Summers' conduct, as reflected in publicly reported communications, as fundamentally inconsistent with its standards of professional integrity and with the trust placed in mentors within the economics profession. Consistent with longstanding 蝌蚪网 practices and to protect the integrity and confidentiality of 蝌蚪网 processes, the 蝌蚪网 will not comment further on individual matters or the specific considerations underlying this determination.

The 蝌蚪网 is committed to upholding the highest standards of professional conduct and to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all members of the economics community.  The 蝌蚪网 affirms its expectation that all members adhere to the 蝌蚪网 Code of Professional Conduct and the 蝌蚪网 Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation, and remains dedicated to maintaining professional environments in which economists of all backgrounds can participate fully, and with dignity and respect.
