Saïd Business School (Oxford Saïd) is an academic department and the business school of the University of Oxford in England. It is the University of Oxford's centre of learning for undergraduate and graduate students in business, management and finance. Established in 1996, Oxford Saïd is a relatively new business school. It is named after Wafic Saïd, a Saudi-Syrian billionaire and chief founding benefactor, having donated £70 million to date.〔(Said Business School, About Us -- Our Benefactors )〕 The current dean is Peter Tufano, who was formerly on the faculty of the Harvard Business School for 22 years. ==History== Oxford Saïd traces its roots back to the Oxford Centre for Management Studies (OCMS) which was founded in 1965. It was the precursor to both what is now Saïd Business School and to Templeton College, the University's business-focused postgraduate college. Templeton College was named after Sir John Templeton, an American-born Rhodes Scholar and billionaire mutual fund pioneer, who made a significant donation to the college. Initially, OCMS was an "associate institution" of the University, providing executive, graduate and later undergraduate courses in Management Studies. OCMS was renamed Templeton College in 1983, and the University of Oxford School of Management Studies was created in 1991, taking over the undergraduate and graduate degree courses from the college.〔(A bit of history ), Templeton College, Oxford〕 Saïd Business School was formed in 1996 out of the School of Management Studies. The new business school building was completed in 2001 with a £23 million benefaction from Saudi-Syrian businessman Wafic Saïd. The building includes an amphitheatre and the Sainsbury Library, and was designed by Edward Jones and Sir Jeremy Dixon. It was built on the site of Oxford Rewley Road railway station. The opening on 5 November 2001 was accompanied by protests by students mainly because of the controversial nature of Wafic Saïd's donation (his wealth is partly derived from advising on defence related contracts between the UK and Saudi-Arabia, in particular the Al-Yamamah arms deal〔(Protest on business school ), The Oxford Student〕).
