Andrew R. Cecil Chair in Applied Ethics

The Hillcrest Foundation, founded by Mrs. W. W. Caruth, Sr., created the chair in October 1990. The chair honors Dr. Andrew R. Cecil, Distinguished Scholar in Residence at UT Dallas, for 50 years of work in education and for his years of dedicated service at the Southwestern Legal Foundation and to the University. The chair supports an outstanding scholar who can perpetuate Dr. Cecil’s commitment to the examination and teaching of the basic principles of ethics.

“I’ve been here almost 10 years, and I’ve been extremely impressed by the growth of the Naveen Jindal School of Management and the University. Given the increasing stature of a global nature of UT Dallas, it’s really a tremendous honor to be so recognized by my peers and the administration.”
