Editorial Comment
As additional submissions continue to arrive, many reference senior leadership at major financial institutions, including the Chief Executive Officer of Citigroup, Jane Fraser. We want to clarify our editorial policy regarding the use of names on this site.
As a rule, we do not publish the names of individuals referenced in submissions. Our purpose is to allow patterns, experiences, and institutional dynamics to be discussed without exposing individuals to unnecessary reputational harm.
However, the standard is different for corporate chief executives and other widely recognized public figures. By virtue of their role, CEOs are responsible for the governance, culture, and public representation of the organizations they lead. Courts and longstanding First Amendment principles recognize that commentary regarding public figures—particularly in connection with matters of public interest such as corporate governance and workplace culture—receives broader protection.
For that reason, references to corporate CEOs — from any public company — may appear in submissions or editorial commentary. This should not be interpreted as an assertion of fact regarding any specific allegation. As with all content on this site, statements reflect the views and experiences of contributors and are presented for the purpose of discussion about broader systemic issues.
Consistent with this policy, we will continue to decline publication of most other individual names and will focus instead on the institutional practices and patterns described by contributors.
