About the Role

The Company is seeking a Provost and Senior Vice President to play a pivotal role in the academic and strategic leadership of the institution. The successful candidate will be the chief academic officer, responsible for faculty and academic affairs, student life and services, and a range of university-wide programs. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the company's mission of being a moral and civic force in higher education, with a focus on democratic values, knowledge, and inquiry. The Provost will work closely with the President and academic leadership to guide the university through its transformative years, ensuring a balance between research activity and the company's commitments to excellent teaching, shared governance, access, and public engagement. The ideal Provost will have a strong academic background, be a systems thinker, and demonstrate values-centered leadership. They should be capable of inspiring trust, reducing unnecessary bureaucracy, and fostering an environment where change can be implemented with clarity and shared ownership. The role requires a leader who can navigate the complexities of a research-intensive institution while maintaining a commitment to the company's core values. The Provost's leadership will not only shape the academic direction of the university but also its impact on the future of the state, the nation, and the higher education landscape.
