...lending it to the bank. Those deposits were explicitly insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 before the crisis, and the banks paid for that insurance (though not in full, given that FDIC coverage has been raised to $250,000 and seems effectively without limit at bigger banks) and passed the cost on in the form of lower interest rates than on, say, an uninsured money-market account. That, plus the fear that panicked depositors could start a devastating run on the banking system, explains why we're going to continue to be protected...

Such a leap would require sweeping changes in the vehicles American drive...

Since Smith has slashed the number of visiting professorships for next year and the hiring slowdown will limit the number of new lecturers FAS will be able to hire, the new program provides an economical alternative to fill teaching vacancies.
