Federal Credit Programs

Technical Advice

Thomas Stanton has advised managers of numerous federal credit programs about the design and management of direct federal loans and loan guarantees. He has provided technical support to many offices and agencies, including the Treasury Department (Financial Management Service), Office of Management and Budget, General Accounting Office (now the Government Accountability Office), Department of Housing and Urban Development (Federal Housing Administration and Ginnie Mae), Department of Education, Small Business Administration, and the Agency for International Development.

Teaching

For many years, Tom has taught a course on government and the credit markets at the Center for the Study of American Government at Johns Hopkins University. In 2008, the course, “Government and the Credit Markets: Problems and Solutions,” addressed the credit debacle.
