Daniels to join Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative
Press Release
The Daniels College of Business will become part of a new initiative involving eight universities across four states that will collaborate on developing programs designed to instill a high standard of ethics in business school students. The initial grant and ongoing support for the initiative is provided by the Daniels Fund, a private foundation established by cable television pioneer Bill Daniels, who was widely recognized for his ethics and integrity in business.
The initiative includes two universities with existing business ethics programs supported by the Daniels Fund: the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver, and the University of Wyoming College of Business. The other six universities will share equally in the $7.5 million initiative to be announced at a 10:30 a.m. press conference taking place Jan. 19 at the Daniels Fund in Denver. The universities are Colorado State University, New Mexico State University, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, University of New Mexico, University of Northern Colorado and University of Utah. Business deans from all eight universities will take part in a Jan. 19 press conference in Denver. Local announcements will take place at each of the six new universities partnering in the program.
Bill Daniels established the Daniels Fund to operate the Daniels Fund Scholarship Program and the Daniels Fund Grants Program
in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. His estate transferred to the Daniels Fund when he died in March, 2000, making
it one of the largest foundations in the Rocky Mountain region. Visit danielsfund.org for more information.
