Job Summary:
Reporting to the President, the University Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs is the chief academic officer of the University and, along with the Academic Deans and Directors, is responsible for managing the University’s academic budget. Moreover, after the President, the University Provost is the second-most senior officer at the University and, in the President’s absence, serves as the lead spokesperson for the University.
 
The University Provost fosters collaboration across the University and manages changes in policies and practices that affect the academic life of the University as a whole. In addition, the University Provost works closely with the Senior Vice President for University Operations, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration, Vice President for Enrollment, Planning and Effectiveness, Academic Deans and Directors, and leadership of the Faculty Senate to manage the internal operations of the University, and with the President and Senior Vice President for University Advancement to determine and align the fundraising priorities of the University with its strategic plan, especially as they relate to academic programming and priorities.
 
The University Provost provides the academic leadership necessary to achieve the highest standards of teaching and learning, research and scholarship, and student success at each of the University’s campuses—domestic and international campuses. The University Provost also promotes faculty development and curricular program innovation, and fosters positive and productive relationships among faculty and staff.
 
At present, the University Provost is focused on organizational change with the goal of improving efficiency in the delivery of academic programs across the University, cross-faculty collaboration, the integration of academic and administrative computing services, assessment of student learning and institutional effectiveness, core institutional values and assets, and the general well-being of the University community.
 
As the chief academic officer of the University, the University Provost is responsible for leadership of the faculty and academic program development—including community outreach programs, oversight of institutional and program accreditations, and promoting scholarly and other pertinent activities. In addition, the University Provost is deeply committed to promoting practices that are designed to facilitate student engagement. Such practices include capstone experiences, student research, experiential learning, and study abroad—to name a few.
