Critics say Fed leadership not diverse enough
A bipartisan group of 11 senators and 116 House members urge Chairwoman Janet Yellen to broaden the Fed leadership to include more women and minorities. They note leadership remains predominantly white and male and call for a wider pool of directors for the Fed's 12 regional banks. The Fed replies that minority representation has risen from 16 percent in 2010 to 24 percent this year.
