The Slick Endowed Collection in Business Ethics

The Sally S. and William T. Slick, Jr. Endowed Collection in Business Ethics

Over the years, Doherty library at the University of St. Thomas has benefited from the generosity of individuals and families in the form of endowed library collections.  Endowed collections typically set aside a sum of money in trust for the regular purchase of library materials in a particular subject area or genre, thus insuring that that collection will continue to grow in perpetuity.  In 1996, the Sally S. Slick and William T. Slick, Jr. Endowed Collection in Business Ethics was established to create a collection of material in the Doherty Library to support the Center for Business Ethics and the Cullen Trust Endowed Chair in Business Ethics at the University of St. Thomas.  Recent purchases include books about business ethics, social ethics, moral and ethical aspects of corporate culture, conflicts of interest, the role of human conscience in business and corporate history.  Books purchased by this endowment are identified by a bookplate placed in the front of each volume acquired for the collection.  The material is shelved throughout the Doherty library.  To survey our latest purchases for the collection, click the “Endowed Collections” tab in the Doherty library catalog and select the “Slick Collection in Business Ethics.”
