A third-party review of the workplace culture for the federal bank deposit insurance agency will be overseen by three non-voting members who were named Friday, the agency announced.
Linda Miller, Elizabeth McCaul and Valerie Mosley will be the committee members, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) said. Their role, the agency said, will be to provide advice and counsel to a special committee of FDIC Board members, which was created in November. The special committee is made up of FDIC Board Members Jonathan McKernan and Michael J. Hsu, who also heads up the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
The special committee is aiming to complete its independent review in the second quarter of this year, the agency said.
Late last year, the FDIC Board appointed the special committee to oversee an independent review of workplace culture at the agency amid ongoing reporting on past allegations of sexual harassment and other misconduct at the FDIC. The committee was slated to have five members, with McKernan and Hsu as co-chairs. Three other members were to be appointed to “to advise and promote a diversity of views,” according to a statement issued by the co-chairs., who added that “the review will be fully independent and those conducting it will report directly and exclusively to the special committee.”
FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, in a statement last year, said he welcomed and supported establishment of the committee and that the committee has “full authority” to carry out its review. He added that he will “play no role” in overseeing the review.
