Kenneth L. Lay Chair in Economics? How ironic is this?
COLUMBIA, Mo. | The University of Missouri has turned to one of its own professors to fill a long-vacant endowed chair named for the late Enron founder Ken Lay.

Joseph Haslag, a faculty member since 2000, is the first person to fill the Kenneth L. Lay Chair in Economics.

The job has been vacant for nearly a decade as the university struggled to fill a position created by a $1.1 million donation in Enron stock that Lay made to his alma mater.

After the energy company's collapse and a subsequent criminal probe, critics had encouraged the university to use the money for other purposes. But campus lawyers said the university was legally bound to use the donation as intended.
