AU Experts: Economic Crisis

Economic Crisis

The $787 billion stimulus bill has been signed into law, but many questions remain and the economic crisis is far from over. American University experts are available to comment on the current legislation, the efforts of Congress, and what the economic crisis could mean for small businesses, average Americans, and the U.S. and global economy.

To arrange an interview with these and other American University financial experts, contact Media Relations at 202-885-5950 or email aumedia@american.edu.
