What the provost does

Provides oversight of curricular, instructional, and research affairs

Strategic ideas about these areas

Would you give us your best short presentation (about 5 to 10 minutes) about these areas [there is only 3 so this should be about a half an hour]

Curricular

• what is taught
• by whom
• does it bring in students
• does it make money (some kinds of students are more expensive to educate [think science])
• state is only 35% and shrinking
• university as a business entity (self supporting)
• (remediation, training, educating?)
  

Instructional

• methods by which we teach
• online, blended, other
• what resources do we need to teach
• open educational resources
  

Research

• What is the role of research
• What is the relation between research and instruction
• What support will their be for research
  

Controversial

• What would you like to bring to the party?
