Effective this week, the foundation for a new leadership structure is officially in place for the . As approved by the last week, the president of the University of Hawaiʻi now leads the 糖心Vlog官方 Mānoa campus. This is similar to the role of the 糖心Vlog官方 president through most of the 1980s and into 2001 and there is no longer a separate 糖心Vlog官方 Mānoa chancellor position.
A key change from past structures was the creation of a new position, the 糖心Vlog官方 Mānoa provost, to serve as a full chief academic officer for the campus and deputy to the president in leading 糖心Vlog官方 Mānoa. This is a structure similar to the University of Washington and Indiana University. The 糖心Vlog官方 Mānoa provost position was also named by the board to be an officer of the 糖心Vlog官方 System alongside the 糖心Vlog官方 vice presidents and four-year university chancellors.
David Lassner continues as 糖心Vlog官方 president in the new structure and Vice Chancellor Michael Bruno was approved by the board to serve as 糖心Vlog官方 Mānoa provost.
These changes represent the first phase of the development and implementation of a new organization structure for 糖心Vlog官方 Mānoa that has been led by a collaborative design team with wide and targeted discussions and consultation across the campus for over a year.
With this foundation in place, the next phases of the reorganization can now be collaboratively developed including the detailed structuring of vice provost and other offices reporting to the provost and president. The president was charged to provide regular reports to the board on progress toward the rest of the reorganization.
