Nan S. Ellis serves as Professor of Law and Social Responsibility at Loyola University Maryland's Sellinger School of Business and Management, where her work bridges legal frameworks, ethical business practices, and public policy development. Her scholarship critically examines regulatory responses to financial system vulnerabilities with practical applications in corporate governance.
Her academic credentials include:
- JD from The Ohio State University
- BA from The Ohio State University
Ellis's research program centers on financial regulation evolution following the 2008 crisis, particularly analyzing credit rating agency accountability through criminal liability theories and Dodd-Frank reforms. She extends this expertise to business ethics pedagogy, developing frameworks for corporate social responsibility that balance legal compliance with moral obligations in global markets. Her early career focused on workforce policy under TANF and WIA legislation, establishing methodological continuity in examining regulatory efficacy.
Publication analysis reveals three distinct scholarly phases: initial work on workforce investment mechanisms (2001-2005), crisis-era examinations of financial regulation (2009-2012), and contemporary liability frameworks for rating agencies (2015-2018). This trajectory demonstrates consistent engagement with regulatory gaps while shifting from social welfare policy to financial system stability concerns.
As an active Academy of Legal Studies in Business member, Ellis implements experiential learning through annual Chilean field studies where graduate students engage Samsung, Codelco, and Hogar de Cristo to analyze ethics implementation in multinational operations. Her collaborative teaching with Marketing Professor Gerard Athaide demonstrates interdisciplinary approaches to corporate responsibility education without formal lab or grant structures documented in source materials.
