Deans & Chairs
College deans are the chief academic, fiscal, administrative, and fund raising officers of the colleges they serve. They will provide leadership in the maintenance and improvement of educational standards and practices within their respective spheres by working with faculty to create an environment of intellectual excellence.
They will implement and carry out such academic and administrative policies as are determined by the Board of Trustees, President, Provost/EVP, University Senate, their colleges, and their academic units.
All college deans serve as members of the Deans Council and report directly to the Provost/EVP.
