History
20th century
Miami Herbert Business School was founded as the University of Miami School of Business concurrently with the University of Miami's founding in 1929. The school's founding came in the middle of a period of financial turmoil for the university and classes were initially held in the unfinished Anastasia Hotel, near the parcel of land that would later become the university's Coral Gables campus.
21st century
In 2017, University of Miami president Julio Frenk appointed former Harvard Business School senior associate dean and professor John Quelch as the school's dean and vice provost of executive education. Shortly after being hired, Quelch led a successful but short-lived initiative to change the school's name from the University of Miami School of Business Administration to Miami Business School. On October 15, 2019, the school's name changed again to honor Patti and Allan Herbert, a married alumni couple who have contributed approximately $100 million to the university over the course of their lifetimes. The school is currently known as the University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School.
In December 2022, the University of Miami announced the departure of Quelch as the school's dean, and the appointment of Ann N. Olazabal, a professor of business law and ethics and the Herbert Business School's vice dean of Lifelong Learning and Executive Education, as his interim replacement.

Why this record matters
The phrase “academic unit of the University of Miami offering business and executive education” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7895747. VIAF identifies the subject as 141984750. The Library of Congress control number is n86849351. Authority coordinates are 25.722, -80.279. 4 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1929, 2017, 2019 and 2022.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
