Rutgers Business School will host a conference next month examining some of the lingering effects of the 2008 financial crisis, including the controversial regulations intended to prevent risky banking practices blamed for causing it.

The conference, "Risk Management in a Fast-Changing Regulatory Environment" promises to deliver a provocative debate on the implications of regulations such as Dodd-Frank to the possibility of even stricter provisions being put into place through an updated version of Glass-Steagall.

Charles Morris, an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, who has helped to shape some of the new rules intended to limit risk, will be among the plenary session speakers on hand to discuss the implications of Dodd-Frank and the Volcker Rule.
