A Special Thank You to the Maloney Family

The Haile College of Business thanks Tim and Leslie Maloney for their commitment to our college. Together Tim and Leslie served as the President and Senior Vice President of the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation for the past fifteen years before retiring on March 31, 2022. Without their generosity, our college would not be what it is today.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation with newly appointed President & CEO, Bernie McKay. Bernie is a lifelong resident of our region who is a committed philanthropist and leader of the nonprofit community.

History

In 2008, the then Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. / US Bank Foundation gifted 新加坡toto开奖结果 University College of Business with a $15 million endowment. This was the largest gift in the 40-year history of NKU, and matched the largest single-source gift to a public university in the history of Kentucky. The gift established endowed chairs for faculty and support for faculty recruitment, retention, and development, as well as providing scholarships for business students. The college was named The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./US Bank Foundation College of Business to reflect this generosity.

In 2021, the college rebranded as simply the Haile College of Business to follow suit with the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation having shortened its name by dropping the 鈥淯.S. Bank鈥 from its name. The decision was made to avoid confusion and to clarify the two brands.

Funded Reserach: Valuation Effect of Emotionality in Corporate Philanthropy

Despite receiving a great deal of research attention, the effect of corporate philanthropy on shareholder value remains inconclusive. To address this issue, emotionality was examined as an important factor based on which investors infer about a firm鈥檚 motive as well as the beneficiary鈥檚 worthiness and react accordingly. Consistent with attribution theory, this study showed that announcements with more emotional expressions were associated with higher cumulative abnormal stock returns and that the effect is stronger when investor attention is greater. It was further found that the positive interaction effect between emotionality and investor attention is more pronounced for scandal-free firms than for firms with corporate social irresponsibility (CSI). The empirical evidence remains consistent under various robustness tests.
