This position will report to Executive Vice President and Provost Kathy Krendl and serve as a member of the president's executive staff. The individual will advise the provost and president on policies and actions related to diversity.
As part of a university reorganization announced last spring, diversity-related offices in the Office of the President and Division of Student Affairs were consolidated in the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost. The new office brings together Institutional Equity; Multicultural Programs; the Women's Center; the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Office; Disability Services; and diversity-related scholarship and retention programs such as the Templeton Scholars, the Appalachian Scholars, the Urban Scholars, and the King-Chavez-Parks Scholarship program. Until the appointment of a vice provost of diversity, access and equity, all units within the new office are reporting to David Descutner in his capacity as interim executive vice provost.
