NYU Stern Begins Search for New Dean as Thomas Cooley Prepares to Step Down

Thomas Cooley, who has served as dean of New York University’s Stern School of Business since August 2002, plans to step down, according to a report earlier this month in the Financial Times. NYU Stern is now beginning its search for a new dean, the report continued.

Cooley, a macroeconomist, was a former faculty member at Wharton, Rochester and Santa Barbara before coming to NYU Stern, where he replaced George Daley, who is now dean at Georgetown.

In his tenure at Stern, Cooley has hired more than 90 faculty, the FT reported. Under his watch, the school also has raised more than $190 million in the latest fundraising initiative and set up 24 professorships, the FT continued.

Setting up joint programs with schools outside the United States has been a particular focus for Cooley. He has helped to establish programs with schools in Hong Kong, Switzerland and the Netherlands, according to the FT report.

Clear Admit will provide more information regarding NYU Stern’s search for a new dean here as it becomes available.
