Office of the Provost


The Provost is the College's chief academic officer and reports to the President. The Office of the Provost is responsible for the quality and support of the academic programs of the College. Working with the President, the Committee on Appointments, and--as appropriate--the Deans of the College, the Provost is responsible for the hiring of new faculty members and the review, reappointment and promotion of faculty members. The Provost convenes the Council on Institutional Priorities (CIP), which has appointed representatives from the student bodies, faculty, administration and staff. The Provost often sits with the faculty Committee on Academic Priorities (CAP). The Director of Sponsored Research reports to the Provost. Click for members of the Office.
