Deans of Schools and Colleges
The Dean of a School or College serves as its chief administrative officer. The Dean is appointed by the Trustees upon the recommendation of the President. As the academic leader of a School or College, the Dean is charged to maintain academic standards in teaching, research, and other services performed by his or her faculty, and to conduct academic relations with other Schools and Colleges.
All the Deans of the Schools and Colleges, and the director of the University Professors, are members of the Council of Deans, which is chaired by the Provost and normally meets once each month during the academic year.
