Search committee struck for V-P Academic and Provost

Prof. Jamie Cassels has indicated that he will end his second term as Vice-President Academic and Provost on Dec. 31, 2010. Following an administrative leave, he plans to return to his academic position in the Faculty of Law.

“Jamie has provided superb leadership as provost over the past nine years,” says UVic President David Turpin. “His hard work, intellectual rigour, standards, fairness and dedication have benefited the University of Victoria greatly and continue to do so. I’m sure you share my gratitude for the academic leadership he has provided and look forward, as I do, to working with him over the final year of his term.”

A search committee has been struck to search for Cassels’ successor. The membership of the committee, the search procedures and the current position description for the Vice-President Academic and Provost are posted online.
