Haas Dean Takes Leave; Accepts Position As California Director Of Finance

Haas School of Business Tom Campbell has been appointed to be the new Director of Finance under Governor Schwarzenegger for the next two budget cycles. According to the Daily Cal report, Campbell may be planning to return after his two-year term, though that is uncertain.

While it's great that Berkeley continues to be a source for California's best and brightest, there is a negative and continual trend of faculty and administrators leaving for greener pastures, both inside and outside of the education system.

This also leaves a floundering Haas School of Business desperately looking for a new dean half way through the school year. This certainly won't help its reputation, which Campbell's work inarguably boosted.Email This Post!
