Enron's legacy looms 20 years on at University of Missouri

[Sherman A1]

COLUMBIA — Twenty years after the Enron Corporation filed for bankruptcy in December 2001, the University of Missouri still holds a position under the founder and former CEO of the company's name.

Dr. Joseph Haslag is the first and, thus far, only Kenneth Lay Chair of Economics at the University of Missouri, a role he has filled since 2008.

"Without Mr. Lay being here, I don't know what he would say to the folks who are angry with him," Dr. Haslag said. "All I can control, I think, at the end of the day is how can I use the resources he provided the university, and I hope that the university sees that it's being done in an honorable fashion and a productive fashion."

Dr. Haslag said the role took some years to fill, and at least one of the candidates for the position had expressed scrutiny of the position's title.
