What is a Provost?
The Provost is the chief academic
officer of the University of South Carolina. He oversees the
schools and colleges of the USC Columbia campus as well as
the four regional campuses (USC
Lancaster,
USC Salkehatchie,
USC Sumter,
USC Union).
The Provost is responsible for
leading the formulation and implementation of system-wide
academic affairs policy relating to faculty hiring,
retention, tenure, promotion, and development. He is charged
with oversight of USC’s graduate and undergraduate academic
programs as well as curriculum development, program
assessment, and university accreditation.
The Provost provides budgetary
oversight for all USC Columbia academic units and academic
support areas and manages the strategic planning processes
for those units. The USC Press, the Office of Institutional
Assessment and Compliance, the Office of Academic Support,
and the Information Technology division also report to the
Provost.
