Former NY Gov. Spitzer speaks at Harvard

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is scheduled to speak at a Harvard University ethics forum.

Spitzer's address scheduled for Thursday at Harvard's Safra Foundation Center for Ethics is entitled "What Should Be the Rationale for Government Participation in the Market?"

The center's faculty director, Lawrence Lessig, said in a statement that Spitzer was invited to speak because of his extensive background as both a governor and prosecutor in matters involving institutional corruption in the financial sector.

Spitzer, a Democrat who also served as New York's attorney general, resigned in a prostitution scandal in March 2008.

Since his resignation, he has worked in his father's real estate firm and as an adjunct professor of political science at City College in New York.
