Background
The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission has ushered in a new era of corporate money in the American political system. Corporations have new-found freedom to enter the political fray at all levels--federal, state and local--and all branches--including executive, legislative and judicial with unknown consequences.
About the Baruch Index
The Baruch Index of Corporate Political Disclosure was created by the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity to ensure accountability now that corporations have this political freedom of speech. The Baruch Index highlights those corporations that are transparent about their policies, practices, and giving, and shines a light on those that are not.
