RE: New Provost
She’s a Buckeye graduate school-wise!
Well, if the school couldn’t get a Boilermaker, a Buckeye will do!
She will have some trouble getting used to FCS football, but she’s probably relieved as Mason had no football!

RE: New Provost
The article said that this is what she will be responsible for:
"The provost is the chief academic officer for the university and oversees Arts & Sciences, the Raymond A. Mason School of Business, the William & Mary School of Education, William & Mary Law School, the William & Mary School of Marine Science at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and University Libraries. In addition to the six deans, direct reports to the provost currently include several centers and institutes, associate provosts for various academic operations and the vice provosts for academic and faculty affairs, international affairs and research.
The provost is responsible for all academic and research programs, academic budgets, institutional planning and space allocation. Working with the deans, the provost leads academic planning, curricular and educational policy matters, including new programs and faculty development. Jointly with the senior vice president for finance and administration, the provost is responsible for budget planning and priorities, including resource allocation and expenditures. In addition, the provost will play a leading role in the university's strategic planning efforts, scheduled to launch this August."
So, if that is what the Provost does, then what does President Rowe do?

RE: New Provost
Obviously, Rowe is responsible for everything that happens at W&M.
All the academic stuff seems to funnel to the provost. Similar to an 'undersecretary' in government or perhaps a 'senior VP' in the private sector. The provost has a portfolio that is large and important, but not all encompassing.
That is my impression at least.

RE: New Provost
Fantastic selection wrt background. Do I sniff the EVMS merger back on the table?
"been dean of the College of Science at George Mason since 2013, oversees one of the university’s most active research units, which has consistently been Mason’s top-earning source of external research funds for many years. Last year alone, the College of Science accounted for almost a third of George Mason’s total research expenditures and nearly half of its indirect revenue."
"served on the boards for multiple organizations, including the Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center"

RE: New Provost
I think that it's an excellent hire also. I would like to hear more from Rowe about her vision. When she came in it was clear that she wanted to modernize infrastructure and focus on digitalization of many functions. I'd like to know if we're making progress, where we should see changes, etc. I'm sure there will be a platform for that type of commentary.

College president = good at fundraising
