SUBJECT: Phil Weiser named dean of the University of Colorado School of Law
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Philip J. Weiser, senior advisor
for technology and innovation to the National Economic Council at the White
House, as dean of the University of Colorado School of Law. Phil has amassed a
critical body of legal scholarship and has distinguished himself as a
researcher, a teacher, and a leader. His work in technology law has made him a
seminal figure in that discipline, his leadership in building the Silicon
Flatirons Center represents a very significant accomplishment, and I look
forward to the energy, imagination and vision he will bring in leading Colorado
Law.
Weiser joined the CU-Boulder faculty as a professor of law and
telecommunications in 1999. Prior to joining the White House, Weiser served as
the deputy assistant attorney general at the Justice Department's Antitrust
Division. Weiser took that post in July 2009, taking a leave of absence from
the University of Colorado Law School where he served as a professor of law,
associate dean for research, and the executive director and founder of the
Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. He will
begin his duties as dean on July 1, 2011.
