Roles in University Administration

Vice Provost for Academic and Budgetary AffairsJuly 2004-

(title changed from Associate Provost to Vice Provost in 2007)

The University of Michigan is a leading public research university with over 41,000 students and over 26,000 faculty and staff. The University’s academic enterprise, consisting of 19 schools and colleges and a number of free standing research units, occupies over 14M square feet of space and is supported by a $1.45B general fund operating budget. The Vice Provost for Academic and Budgetary Affairs has major administrative and policy responsibilities across a wide range of academic and budgetary areas. This person acts as the Provost’s senior staff member in setting budgetary policy and allocating resources, including the University’s General Fund Budget, University support for major capital projects, and general fund space and facilities. The Vice Provost works directly with deans and directors and their senior staff on matters related to budget, space and facilities, and financial support for academic programs. The Vice Provost for Academic and Budgetary Affairs assists the Provost in presenting the General Fund Budget to the University leadership and in seeking approval from the Board of Regents. In addition, this person serves a number of other functions within the central administration including:

  • represents the Provost in working with the CFO organization on financial and facilities matters
  • helps craft communication and acts as a University spokesperson on matters related to University budgeting
  • leads strategic assessments and reviews of units reporting to the Provost, including schools and colleges
  • works with the Provost, Deans and other Executive Officers on long-range planning for the academic enterprise at the University of Michigan
  • chairs the Enrollment Working Group, the committee charged with undergraduate enrollment management
  • serves as the Provost’s liaison and University spokesperson on academic matters pertaining to intercollegiate athletics

Several units report to the Vice Provost including the Office of Budget and Planning, the Athletic Department’s Academic Success Program, the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute and the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum.

Associate Dean for Planning and Finance, College of LS&A2001-2004

The College of LS&A is the University’s largest and most complex college enrolling over 16,000 undergraduates and over 4,000 graduate students. The departments and programs in the College cover the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences. The Associate Dean for Planning and Finance has responsibility for the budget of the College and for strategic planning within the College. The Associate Dean for Planning and Finance:

  • works closely with the Dean and with the Assistant Dean for Operations to structure allocations of budget, space and instructional resources within the College
  • supports long-range planning within the College
  • supports the Dean in working with the Provost to put in place resources that will enable the College to achieve its the highest priority objectives
  • organizes external reviews of College units
  • represents the College on all matters pertaining to the University’s academic unions, the Graduate Employee Organization and the Lecturer Employee Organization
  • serves as the College representative on the Enrollment Working Group
