Former Dean Laura Tyson to Return to Haas School
From Haas NewsWire (weekly email):
Former Haas School Dean Laura D’Andrea Tyson, who has been on leave from her UC Berkeley faculty position since she left in 2002 to become the dean of the London Business School, will return to her faculty position at the Haas School in January 2007.
While details of her return are being finalized, she is expected to be back in the classroom teaching students soon after her return.
“Having Laura Tyson back at Haas will be great for the school, especially for the students who will be lucky to have her as a teacher,” said Dean Tom Campbell.
Tyson has been a professor at UC Berkeley since 1990, holding joint appointments with the Haas School and the Department of Economics. She was appointed as dean of the Haas School in 1998 and took a leave of absence in 2002 to accept the position of dean at the London Business School.
Tyson served as chairman of the National Economic Council in 1995-96 and as chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors in 1993-95 in President Clinton’s administration. She has written extensively on the national and international economies and on competition in high-tech industries. She contributes a regular column to BusinessWeek’s Economic Viewpoint.
