This Is Corrupt

It may not be enough for a review of his tenure, but the fact that, "Senior associate dean for executive programs and a professor in the practice of management at the Yale School of Management," Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is calling criticism of JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon a witch hunt without revealing that he was a paid consultant for JP Morgan. (See his Yale bio here, I was pointed to it by a commenter on his OP/ED.)

I wonder what the extend of his pecuniary interest is here.

Even if it's a small fee, it would certainly help with his consulting sideline to shill for a CEO. Look at the list on his bio. It's more than 30 big-name clients.

Maybe this is why he calls shareholder objections to Dimon's performance a "lynch mob."

My guess is that he is angling to get a gig at HP, because he also gushed about, "Meg Whitman to continue executing a brilliant turnaround strategy."  (Gag me with a spoon)

When someone suggests that business management schools can manage their own ethics education, have them explain to you why, given the repeated undisclosed conflicts of interest in the field (and in economics departments as well), that we can trust them to get this right.
