DePaul Names Daryl Koehn New Business Ethics Chair
In a recent article by Robin Florzak on the Kellstadt School of Management’s website, DePaul University recently named a familiar face as Wicklander Chair in Business Ethics. In fact, it was more like a homecoming of sorts for Daryl Koehn.
Koehn had taught philosophy at DePaul from 1991 through 1998 and was the 1997-98 Wicklander Chair back when the post was a rotating, one-year appointment. The Wicklander Chair is now an endowed appointment that is no longer a rotating position. Koehn also will serve as managing director of DePaul’s Institute for Business and Professional Ethics (IBPE).
According to the article, one of Koehn’s priorities is to see the IBPE,
“develop expertise in the fast-growing area of benefit corporations, a new legal form for business entities that explicitly permits managers and boards to focus on benefiting a wide array of stakeholders, not just stockholders.”
According to DePaul, the IBPE’s work is supported by the Driehaus College of Business, as well as by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at DePaul Universty. IBPE is led by several of the nation’s leading business ethics scholars and strives to bring the broad knowledge base of academic research to life, helping business leaders resolve a growing number of real-world ethical and compliance challenges.
Koehn, who has authored or edited seven books on subjects that range from global ethics to the nature of evil, added:
“I think that alumni and the business community can provide useful insight into ways that DePaul can help benefit corporations, and also help refine the notion of ‘ethical business culture.’”
