Calvin Boardman is the Bill Daniels Chair of Business Ethics and Professor of Finance at the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah. He has been a member of the faculty since 1977, the year he earned his PhD in finance from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to that time, he managed a hotel, was a business systems analyst for a chemical company in Texas, and earned a BA from Graceland College in Iowa and an MBA from the University of Texas at Arlington.
At the University of Utah, he has held a number of administrative positions including Acting Dean, Department Chair, and the Associate Deans for Executive Education, Academic Affairs, and External Affairs respectively. His early research focused strictly on finance and fixed income securities. His later research has maintained its finance focus, but has also expanded to include papers about Cicero and Confucius. Recently, he published an article on the status of ethics in the equipment leasing industry. He has also published a book now in its seventh edition entitled, Foundations of Business Thought.
Besides holding teaching appointments in Texas and North Carolina prior to coming to Utah, he has since also taught in Mexico, Kuwait, and Denmark.
Cal serves on the boards of WesTech Corporation, the Indian Walk In Center and the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company. He has previously served on the boards of Advanta Bank Corporation, Utah Issues, Graceland College, The Financial Management Association International, the Holy Cross Ministries Health Care Systems, and North American Weather Consultants.
Lastly, he has been recognized by receiving the University of Utah's Distinguished Honors Professor Award, the Young Alumni Association Faculty Community Service Award, the O.C.
