Fighting to End Corruption
When undergraduate students decide to study in Notre Dame’s Washington Program, they often hope for exposure to politics and policy, for an internship at the Capitol, for an urban living experience. But for Greg Miller ’22 and his classmates, their time and work in D.C. brought them to the very thick of U.S. State Department decisions against corrupt Maltese officials.Greg took Professor Tom Kellenberg’s class on the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and learned how to assemble formal dossiers on corrupt government officials. The students were so inspired by the work that they returned to campus and created the Student Policy Network, a club dedicated to public policy projects, like the one they completed under the Magnitsky Act. The club members created a dossier on Isabel dos Santos, the daughter of the former Angolan prime minister, and Africa’s richest woman. She is accused of siphoning public funds to build her personal wealth to $3.5 billion while the average person in her country lives on less than $2 per day. Shortly after the students’ dossier was submitted to the State Department, dos Santos was officially sanctioned by the U.S. government.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/FightingtoEndCorruption
