New Provost
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2015 9:48 am
all, I saw in the DailyCampus that David Chard is the first candidate for the Provost position. What do "we" think of him?
Chard has done from what I can tell a great job of growing the Education School (which contains the APSM major), and the school becoming more engaged locally and nationally. I wonder why he would leave that position, given that there is most likely still even more growth to be had with Annete Simmons as a key donor.The modern university provost is the university’s chief academic officer and under the president is responsible for the creation and implementation of the academic priorities for the university and for the allocation of resources that will support those priorities. The provost works closely with the academic deans, department heads, student services professionals, faculty and staff to provide the highest possible quality of educational programs, both within and outside the classroom, for undergraduate and graduate students. An important part of the provost’s job is also to ensure that we recruit, retain, encourage and support an outstanding and diverse faculty; each of whom will make positive contributions to the university and to their discipline in the areas of teaching, scholarship and service.

A bad state school does not seem to be a proving ground for what we need, but i guess we did get Turner from Ol Miss.
It would also position him for a run at the president's job when Turner takes it to the house......CalallenStang wrote:Provost is a promotion from DeanPlanter's Punch wrote:From looking online:Chard has done from what I can tell a great job of growing the Education School (which contains the APSM major), and the school becoming more engaged locally and nationally.
