KU students benefit after speaker returns fee to business school
Instead of keeping the $6,000 honorarium normally given to the Kansas University Business School’s Anderson Chandler lecturer, this year’s speaker decided to use it to reward three outstanding students.
FBI special agent Robert Herndon spoke at KU on Dec. 1 and talked about his involvement in several major white-collar crime investigations, including the case that became the basis for the film “The Informant!”
At Herndon’s request, business school faculty and administrators chose three students who each received $2,000 scholarships.
The seniors — Mitch Knopp of Manhattan, Shawn Jung of Lansing and Gentry Miller of Wichita — all say they plan to use the funds for tuition and books for next semester.
