Enron-related statements by Powers[edit]

Given the facts in Wikipedia's "Enron Scandal" section, it is surprising to see that his apparent efforts to aid Enron at the time it was going down are not being further examined here.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ykral (talk • contribs) 10:31, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Powers referred to as "Dr."?[edit]

This article references "Dr." William Powers Jr. but I can't find any evidence that he holds a doctorate other than a J.D., which doesn't entitle one to use the "Dr." prefix. Those references ought to be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.71.158.201 (talk) 23:04, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

University of Michigan[edit]

I don't know that the president of UT did not work at U of M, but I do know that a different Dr. William Powers who happened to receive his PhD from UT in engineering in 1968 was a professor there from 1968-1980 ^[1]. I was a student.99.62.145.133 (talk) 11:46, 13 December 2013 (UTC)FPorter[reply]
