OVERVIEW

Koch Endowed Chair in Business Ethics

Department of Ethics and Business Law

Opus College of Business, University of St. Thomas

The Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas invites applications for the Barbara and David A. Koch Endowed Chair in Business Ethics to begin Fall, 2020. David A. Koch was the former President and Chairman of the Board of Graco, Inc. located in Minneapolis Minnesota, and a longtime benefactor of the University of St. Thomas along with his wife Barbara. The mission of the Koch Chair is to institutionalize and advance the role of Business Ethics in the educational programs of the University of St. Thomas through teaching, research, faculty development, and curriculum development. Drawing upon the identity of St. Thomas that is grounded in liberal arts, professional education, and Catholic mission, the Koch chair plays a leading role in making the ethical aspects of management a distinctive feature of business education at the Opus College of Business.

The Chair is a member of the Ethics and Business Law Department in the Opus College of Business with one of the largest Business Ethics faculty groups in the world. The Chair has ample financial, human and organizational resources including an annual two course teaching load and research support. The Chair serves in a leadership role for the Center for Ethics in Practice, coordinating and supporting applied business ethics research, as well as serving as an advisor to other institutional organizations. The Chair also participates in Business Ethics activities that enhance the national and international reputation of the Opus College of Business and the University of St. Thomas on an ongoing basis.

The Chair is responsible for research through continued scholarship and active participation in community, corporate and professional activities. The Chair teaches Business Ethics in programs in the Opus College and is a liaison for Business Ethics for the rest of the University and the Profession. As part of these responsibilities, the Chair develops curricula as well as faculty and professional relationships that enhance Business Ethics education at the University of St. Thomas.

Founded in 1885 by John Ireland, the archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis, The University of St. Thomas is a Catholic co-educational liberal arts institution.

St. Thomas seeks to deliver an education of unquestionable excellence, rooted in the Catholic faith tradition, to students from a wide variety of backgrounds.
