What does a provost do?
As a college or university’s chief academic officer, a provost is responsible for creating and implementing its academic priorities and for the allocation of resources supporting those priorities. Working closely with the deans as well as the heads of related offices to provide the highest quality educational programs, a provost also ensures the recruitment, support, and retention of an outstanding, diverse faculty.
