Staff vacancies plague Geithner '83

Editor's Note: This is part two of a two-part series on the role of Dartmouth alumnus and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner '83 in the federal government's response to the ongoing economic crisis. Having withstood recent calls for his resignation, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner '83 still faces international skepticism, staffing difficulties and a harsh political climate in Washington as he works to solve the current financial crisis. Several high level positions at the Treasury Department remain vacant, and Geithner is the only top Treasury official who has been confirmed by the Senate.
