Professor Quigley, '87, Discusses Housing Crisis with WISH
01/31/2023
President Biden’s administration recently announced measures to protect tenants in danger of needing to leave their homes over rent increases. Professor Fran Quigley, J.D. ’87, talked about the crisis and what is needed to help tenants with WISH TV for a news story January 26.
The plans are for the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to gather information on practices that unfairly prevent people from accessing or staying in housing.
Professor Quigley called the moves promising but said much more is needed. “There is some promising language in there for some potential future actions by the federal government,” he said in the story. “The bad news is it’s more like the opening steps of a marathon than it crossing the finishing line. This is really just starting the conversation, unfortunately.”
