Academic Affairs
The vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean works with division chairs and departmental directors to:
- Administer, organize, and develop the academic and instructional programs and services of the campus
- Create and sustain an environment that advances student success and serves diverse constituencies
- Makes recommendations to the chancellor for the conferring of tenure and granting of faculty promotions
The VCAA/dean ranks next to the chancellor in campus leadership and acts on the chancellor’s behalf in the chancellor’s absence.
New ResourceFaculty Fighting Racism is a curated set of books, articles, videos, and podcasts intended as a first step in understanding what it means to be anti-racist. The site, developed by the Graduate School Diversity Consultation Team, is a resource for faculty who want to learn more about racism, how it is and has been perpetuated in higher education, and ways to move towards anti-racist policies and practices. |
