White House technology policy adviser, Susan Crawford will leave her position in January to return to the University of Michigan Law School where she is a tenured professor, according to the Obama administration.

Crawford, known as a proponent of controversial net neutrality rules, has been on temporary leave from the university to serve in the White House. That sabbatical, which began two months after she received tenure at the University of Michigan, will end in January.

“Susan has done an outstanding job coordinating technology policy at the National Economic Council where her expertise on issues from intellectual property to the Internet has been invaluable," said a White House spokesman. "We understand that she needs to return to her responsibilities in Ann Arbor, but we will miss having her wise counsel in the White House.”

Crawford has served as a technology policy coordinator for President Obama on the National Economic Council headed by Lawrence H. Summers. In that role she has been President Obama's adviser on the development of broadband Internet networks and a net neutrality policy. She has written extensively about net neutrality in her personal blog.

"We understand that she needs to return to her responsibilities in Ann Arbor, but we will miss having her wise counsel in the White House.”

Naw, you'll find another communist to take her place.

I wonder if this was ‘known’ or unexpected?

Cops. Sprinting.

[taillightchaser]

She was probably fired because she didn’t federalize the net fast enough for zero. I don’t believe ANYTHING these commies say!!!

[lowbridge]

Cross. Vampires.

[uncitizen]

She wasn’t Communist enough.

[The Comedian]

There's no point, Susan.

You're still going to be tried and convicted with all the rest of the coup.

Interesting

A short career and back to her university job?

Something smells - I think Glenn Beck only mentioned her a few times

Obama may have shady inside deals with GOOGLE (info from GOOGLE) - but MSN/MSFT is not one he can buffalo

The military uses lots of Microsoft stuff

The internet IPs and users could bring Hussy Junior down hard in many ways

Timed visits to WH, MyObama, ObamaForAmerica sites might test their servers a tad

Just a thought

[Freddd]

So she can welcome the Muslim Terrorists from Guantanamo, when they get there?

[MotorCityBuck]

“Susan Crawford will leave her position in January to return to the University of Michigan Law School” Ann Arbor is a wh#re.

I agree. Maybe she failed to agree with all that Obama wants done. I’m sure we’ll hear more about it.

No mystery here. She just ran out of sabbatical. Must be nice to get paid for two jobs at the same time.
