After receiving her Ed.D. from Auburn University, Haysbert held academic positions at the school, and also Virginia State University and Alexander City State Junior College, before her tenure at Hampton.

In 2005, after a 25-year career at Hampton, she succeeded Earnest Holloway to become Langston University's 15th president, serving through the end of 2011, when Kent Smith succeeded the post.
In 2012, she returned to Hampton to become its first Chancellor and Executive Vice-President, while also resuming her post as Provost.[7][8]
