Harvard B-School Dean Jay Light stepping down

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. OK
