To that end, the CPC was not adequately consulted in this process, and its members are justified in expressing their frustrations in this regard. Both the seven-member CPC and the three-member subcommittee charged with investigating Shleifer deserved some level of oversight powers in this highly sensitive, and highly publicized, case.
