Categories: B-school News
Harvard Business School Dean Jay O. Light, 68, the ninth person to serve as the school’s dean since its founding in 1908, is stepping down after serving in a number of positions for 40 years, the school in Boston said in a statement. Light was named interim dean in August 2005 when Dean Kim Clark left the post to join Brigham Young University-Idaho. Light was made the permanent dean in April 2006.
Light said he did not intend to pursue other full-time employment after his departure but planned to write and spend more time sailing. The school will start the search for new dean, said the school officials.
