Klain to Coordinate US Ebola Response

Adjunct professor Ron Klain (CAS ’83) will coordinate the United States’ response to Ebola, according to media reports Friday morning.

As “Ebola czar,” Klain will be responsible for federal response to any outbreak in the United States. He will report to White House homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco and National Security Advisor Susan Rice, according to CNN.

“It may make sense for us to have one person … so that after this initial surge of activity, we can have a more regular process just to make sure that we’re crossing all the T’s and dotting all the I’s going forward,” President Obama said to CNN.

Klain is a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden and is currently president of Case Holdings and general counsel of Revolution, an investment group.

Klain has taught at Georgetown for several years, and is teaching the government department seminar “Presidential Debates” this semester.
