Go Right at Kozlowski Hall, then Left at Scrushy Field

The Chicago Tribune has this interesting article about an unusual consequence of corporate and securities scandals--what do you do when you've named prominent buildings and playing fields after high-profile securities fraud defendants?

Seton Hall, which only recently "quietly removed" the name of Robert E. Brennan, the former head of now-defunct First Jersey Securities, who was convicted of bankruptcy fraud and money laundering in 2001, from its gymnasium, now must decide what to do about "Kozlowski Hall." Kozlowski Hall is named after Dennis Kozlowski, the former Tyco International Ltd. chairman and chief executive who is accused, along with another executive, of stealing $600 million from the company. Kozlowski Hall houses the university's W. Paul Stillman School of Business.

Meanwhile, over at University of Alabama, the baseball team plays its games at Scrushy-Striplin Field. Scrushy-Striplin Field is named after Richard Scrushy, the former CEO of HealthSouth Corp. who is under fire and faces charges for his role in an alleged $2.5 billion fraud at that company.

University of Missouri has its own dilemma: the Kenneth L. Lay Chair in Economics, named for alumnus Kenneth L. Lay, former chief executive of Enron Corp.

Finally, there is Arthur Andersen Hall, which the esteemed Kellogg School of Management calls home.

Comments

Funny. And don't forget Enron Field, where the Astros used to play. They sold the naming rights again & made a nice chunk o' change.
