UH Mānoa reorg proposes provost, vice provost positions

From UH News Nov 2, 2018

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Interim Chancellor David Lassner presented an update for the proposed campus leadership reorganization that would, among other things, eliminate the chancellor position and create an academic provost position. The proposal was presented at a forum in the UH Mānoa Art Auditorium on November 2. Lassner covered the modified reorganization concepts and ideas developed from input received after the April 2018 forum and the next steps moving forward.

“This is not focused on existing organizations or existing people,” said Lassner at the start of the forum. “What we tried to do is step back and look at all of these offices and functions under the chancellor and the vice chancellors, and some of the system offices, and then construct what we thought would be a sensible way to organize those functions within the context of the reorganization.”

Go to the UH Mānoa proposed reorganization forum website to download the presentation slides and offer feedback (November 2–9).

Key objectives

The key objectives of the reorganization are strong and strategic enrollment management with a focus on recruitment and retention; meaningful integration of research and education; improved student success; to strengthen UH Mānoa’s role as a premier Asia-Pacific focused global research university; to strengthen and clarify advocacy and compliance programs; and to provide stable leadership.
