History of The School
The Carleton University School of Business was renamed to the Eric Sprott School of Business in 2000 (later changed to just the Sprott School of Business), named after Eric Sprott, a Carleton Commerce Alumnus, and founder of Sprott Securities, Inc. and more recently, Sprott Asset Management.
Prior to May 1, 2006 the school was a department under the Faculty of Public Affairs and Management. On January 1, 2007 Dr. William W. Keep served as Dean of the school for 91 days of what was to be a six year term. Although the exact reasons for Keep's departure were never officially disclosed, an article was written (under a pseudonym) in the Chronicle for Higher Education describing what is assumed to be Keep's experience working with Carleton University's administration.
Dr. Roland Thomas was then the (acting) Dean until Dr. Jerry Tomberlin, former dean of the John Molson School of Business at Concordia, was chosen to replace Dr. Keep.
