Career edit
Salbu joined the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin in 1990.[1] He became the Bobbie and Coulter R. Sublett Centennial Endowed Professor in 2000 and subsequently served as the associate dean for graduate programs.[1] At UT Austin, one of Salbu's students was Brian Cruver, the author of Anatomy of Greed.[2]
Salbu was appointed as the Stephen P. Zelnak chair and dean of the Scheller College of Business at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2006.[1] As dean, he accepted a $50 million donation from Ernest Scheller Jr.[3] Salbu was also one of first openly gay business school deans.[3][4] In a 2012 op-ed in The New York Times, Salbu opined that mayors and aldermen should not prevent Chick-fil-A from opening branches in their cities in spite of Dan Cathy's anti-gay marriage remarks; instead, customers should choose whether to eat there or not.[5]
