Mitt Romney to speak at Chicago Harris forum on the presidency

The Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago will host presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on Monday, March 19, for an address on economic policy.

Romney’s appearance is part of a series of forums hosted at Chicago Harris, titled Presidency 2012: The Purposes of Government. The non-partisan series provides an equal opportunity to all presidential candidates who wish to present their views on major policy issues and the purposes of government in the United States. The University of Chicago neither supports nor opposes this or any other candidate for public office.

A live webcast of the event will be available beginning at 12 p.m. Monday, at the UChicago Live Facebook page. Seating for the International House event will be limited to guests invited by Chicago Harris and the speaker. There will be an opportunity during the event for attendees to offer written questions.
