The Provost Office has decided to temporarily pause the search for a new leader in graduate education. This break in the process will provide an opportunity to facilitate a series of discussions involving faculty, students, and campus leaders. The goal of these conversations is to explore best practices and effective management strategies for the functions of the graduate education unit.
Additionally, this pause will allow the incoming president, Michael Benson, to become involved in the discussions and contribute to shaping the future direction of graduate education at the institution. By engaging with various stakeholders, the Provost Office aims to gather valuable insights that will inform the search for a suitable candidate. This collaborative approach underscores the importance of community input in creating a robust framework for graduate education, ensuring that the new leader will be well-equipped to address the needs and aspirations of the academic community.
