Celebrating our accomplished and

Get to Know the Office of the Provost

The Office of the Provost oversees a broad cross-section of academic and administrative units. In collaboration with the Chancellor, the Deans, the other Vice Chancellors, and the Academic Senate, the Office stewards the university’s strategic plan, manages the university’s budget, sets academic policies, and recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of the faculty.

Organization

More than three dozen colleges, schools and administrative units, as well as the University Library, report to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost.

Shared Governance

The university’s shared governance system—a model of active collaboration and consultation among administrators, the Academic Senate and the faculty—ensures the establishment and pursuit of academic priorities that are both promising and consistent with the university’s values and aspirations. Learn more about the Provost’s Council of Deans and other committees established to provide guidance to the Provost and Chancellor.
