Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business is the business school of Saint Louis University, a Jesuit, Catholic university located in St. Louis, Missouri. It is named after Richard Chaifetz, chairman and C.E.O. of ComPsych Corp., following his $27 million gift to the university. The school's Richard A.
