Unsure if this would work but, assuming positions are taken in accordance with policy or legislative calendar, perhaps disclosure of said positions when placed might avoid appearance of impropriety?

To be clear, the fellow said 'disinflationary', not 'deflationary'. The latter is bad, the former sorta means 'acts against inflation'.
That said, it's misleading, likely wrong and a stupid thing for a Fed Gov to spout.

The Guardian has learned that Rubenfeld is currently the subject of an internal investigation at Yale. The investigation is focused on Rubenfeld's conduct, particularly with female law students. Students have also raised related concerns to Yale authorities about Chua's powerful influence in the clerkships process. The investigation was initiated before Kavanaugh was nominated by Donald Trump to serve on the high court.
Rubenfeld said in a statement to the Guardian: "In June, Yale University informed me that it would conduct what it terms an 'informal review' of certain allegations, but that to preserve anonymity, I was not entitled to know any specifics. As a result, I do not know what I am alleged to have said or done. I was further advised that the allegations were not of the kind that would jeopardize my position as a long-tenured member of the faculty.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreigwoy5lte7kkrixurdbkz2mf35gdmrsnj4di346ovp6hsv3yiwhla@jpeg)
