ADMINISTRATION

University Governance and Administration

The president is the chief executive officer of the University, providing leadership to all phases of University planning, coordinating the operations of all units of the University, carrying out major University public relations functions, evaluating the results of University plans, and appointing personnel who report to the president. The day-to-day operations of the University are administered by the president and executive officers for advancement, public service and agriculture, and student affairs.

The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs is the chief academic officer of the University. The Provost is responsible directly to the president for all academic matters and has administrative jurisdiction over teaching and computing services. Vice provosts assist in administering and performing duties in coordinating graduate and undergraduate curricula; supervising computer information services, the libraries, scholarship and award programs; and other duties assigned by the Provost.

Academic deans are the chief administrative officers of their individual colleges and report directly to the Provost. They provide leadership in formulating and carrying out educational policy, review and make recommendations on personnel matters, and carry out and administer the academic and financial affairs of their colleges.
