UC Berkeley’s former basketball and football coaches were paid the highest salaries within UC Berkeley in 2016, according to the university’s annual payroll data released Friday afternoon.

After five years serving as the campus vice provost for the faculty, campus philosophy professor Janet Broughton will retire at the end of the semester, with Benjamin Hermalin, chair of the campus's Academic Senate, set to take her place.

If appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, UC Berkeley professor emerita Janet Yellen, the front runner for the position, will bring with her a wealth of economic experience from her time on campus and in other government posts.

Yellen holds a position as Professor Emerita of Economics at the Haas School of Business and if appointed, she would be both the first female and UC Berkeley professor to serve as chair.

The full time masters program in business administration at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business placed twelfth in the world, according to rankings released this week by the Financial Times.

UC Berkeley Professor Ulrike Malmendier was awarded the prestigious 2013 Fischer Black Prize for her research in economics at this year’s American Finance Association (AFA) conference on Jan. 7.

The Haas School of Business announced Friday that they would be hiring nine new faculty members from around the country for the fall 2012 semester. These include two new professors and seven assistant professors.
