We regret to announce that David B. Laird, Jr. passed away at his home on September 13, 2020. Dr. Laird was born, raised, and educated in the State of New York. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, he moved to Minnesota where he spent his entire professional career in higher education. He was an accomplished musician, regularly playing drums with local musicians at Twin Cities jazz venues.

His contributions to higher education and society were both numerous and significant. Dr. Laird was instrumental in the development, establishment, and initial operation of the Minnesota Higher Education Facilities Authority (the “Authority”). His guidance in working with the legislature to enact legislation authorizing and setting up the Authority, along with his help and counsel helping establish guidelines and policies for the operation of the Authority have been of significant benefit to developing the Authority’s position in the higher education public finance market.
