On Thursday, March 15, Anthony Menendez, perhaps best known as the "Accountant Who Beat Halliburton," will be on the hot seat at The University of Tampa's Ethics Hot Seat Speaker Series hosted by the UT Center for Ethics. The event begins at 6 p.m. in the Crescent Club on the ninth floor of the Vaughn Center, and is free and open to the public (registration required). Menendez is widely recognized for his decade-long legal battle with Halliburton as a corporate whistleblower under Sarbanes-Oxley. Despite having no formal legal training, he represented himself during the appeals process and ultimately prevailed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The ruling has had a positive impact on that body of law, resulting in significantly increased protections for corporate whistleblowers.Dan Verreault, director of the UT Center for Ethics, and Robert Marley, associate director of the UT Center for Ethics, with join Menendez for an interactive discussion on "Whistleblowing: He Fought Halliburton and Won." Refreshments will be served.Register at www.ethicshotseat_menendez.eventbrite.com. For more information, contact the Center for Ethics at ethics@ut.edu.
