Sanjay Gupta is the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Dean of the Eli Broad College of

He joined the Broad College
in 2007 as the Russell E. Palmer Endowed Professor of Accounting and chair of
the Department of Accounting and Information Systems. He was appointed associate
dean for the MBA and professional master's programs in July 2012.
As associate dean, Gupta instituted curricular innovations,
such as BroadWeeks, in the Full-Time MBA program, led a task force to evaluate
the Weekend MBA program, and facilitated the launch of new master's programs in
business analytics and management, strategy, and leadership. Average GMAT
scores of entering students rose by 25 points during his tenure, and the MBA
program increased its position in global and national rankings.
Previously, he held several positions in the W. P. Carey
School of Business at Arizona State University, including the first Henry &

and faculty director of the master of accountancy and information systems and

He has been recognized by the Broad College's Executive MBA
Class of 2010 with the Faculty Excellence Award and by the Arizona Society of
CPAs with the Accounting Education Innovation Award and the Outstanding
Educator Award. He was chosen by MSU for the Committee on Institutional
Cooperation's (CIC) Academic Leaders Program and the CIC's Department Executive
Officers' Seminar.
Gupta's research focuses on corporate and individual tax policy issues. He has
written extensively on corporate tax burdens, corporate responses to changes in
tax incentives, and the interaction of taxes and financial reporting. He has
published in leading tax and accounting journals including the National Tax
Journal, the Journal of the American Taxation Association, the Accounting
Review, the Journal of Accounting and Economics, the Journal of
Law and Economics, and Tax Notes. His research on the political
economy of corporate taxation and state corporate tax issues has been cited in
the media, in court cases, and at public policy forums. Based on downloads and
citations of his research, he ranks in the top two percent of all authors in
the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). He is currently an expert witness
for a state department of revenue.
He has consulted for the Big Four public accounting firms, the U.S. government
(Bureau of Economic Affairs and Internal Revenue Service), international
consulting firms (Charles River Associates and Equity Methods), and Fortune 500
companies (Motorola and Sempra Energy). He serves on the University of Notre
Dame Accounting Advisory Board and the MSU-CIBER Advisory Board. He has also
served various business schools as part of their AACSB Accreditation Review
Teams. Gupta received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University, a master
of accountancy from Bowling Green State University, a bachelor of laws from
