We remember George Shultz, former University of Chicago Booth School of Business professor and dean.
George Shultz, the former University of Chicago Booth School of Business professor and dean, passed away on February 6 at the age of 100. The university had renamed its UChicago Innovation Fund to George Shultz Innovation Fund in 2018 following a $10m donation from alumna Mary Tolan who expressed her wish for it to be rebranded. Following his academic career, Shultz went on to serve as US secretary under Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, and later served as an adviser on George W. Bush’s first election campaign.
