Over the summer and into Fall semester, the Provost’s Office will be searching for a new Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs (Provost Price’s old job). This position is not directly responsible for student affairs, but does interact extensively with the faculty that teaches us!

The Vice Provost for Faculty reports directly to the Provost and is a member of the senior leadership team for academic and strategic planning.  They oversee faculty life and the academic personnel process at Penn, including recruitment, retention, and retirement; appointments, tenure, and promotions; enhancement of faculty diversity and gender and minority equity; and resolution of individual faculty issues, including grievances.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions on this position or the faculty in general, comment below, or get in touch with us or SCUE, the academic policy branch of student government.
