NEW YORK (Reuters)-Carol Bartz, who was fired as CEO of Yahoo Inc last week, resigned from the Board of Directors.
"In September 9, 2011, Carol Bartz resigned from the Board of Directors of Yahoo! Inc., effective immediately," Charles Sipkins, a spokesman for the Council wrote in an email on Sunday.
The news was reported for the first time on Sunday in The Wall Street Journal.
Bartz was abruptly fired from his job as CEO on Tuesday. She had said that she intended to remain in the company's Board of Directors, an Internet statement that came into conflict with that, a company spokesman who said Bartz would have to give up his board seat.
After being fired, Bartz inflammatory gave an interview in which she characterized the Yahoo Board as "doofuses" which "fucked me about" Fortune magazine.
