Changes Announced in Provost's Office
 Ithaca
College provost Jim Malek has announced several changes in the
Office of the Provost, including a new role for a longtime College
administrator.
William Scoones has been named special assistant
to the provost for this academic year, working primarily on the
issue of faculty work load-examining how it is defined at the
College and what it means in practical terms for faculty members
and the students they teach. He will also assist in an ongoing
review of College governance issues and the faculty handbook,
and on other special projects. Scoones had served for the past
two years as acting dean of the School of Business; he joined
the Ithaca faculty in 1969 as an assistant professor of education
and has served as assistant provost, dean of graduate studies
and continuing education, director of institutional research
and planning, director of the Center for Teacher Education, and
dean and special assistant to the provost for health sciences,
among other administrative positions.
Garry Brodhead, who has served as acting assistant
provost and dean of graduate studies for two years, will continue
in that role for 1998-99. As assistant provost he helps implement
community college articulations, works directly with faculty
development, and supervises the revision of the undergraduate
catalog, among other duties. His responsibilities as dean of
graduate studies include approval of all applications for admission
and evaluation of all graduate theses. Prior to his appointment
in the Office of the Provost, Brodhead had served since 1976
as chair of the Department of Music Theory, History, and Composition
in the School of Music.
Mary Lee Seibert, who had served since September
1996 as acting provost, will be on sabbatic for the 1998-99 academic
year. While acting provost she cochaired the Middle States Institutional
Self-Study Steering Committee, which helped the College successfully
achieve reaccreditation from the Commission on Higher Education
of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Seibert
joined the College in 1990 as associate provost, and in 1992
she was given the added duties of dean of graduate studies. She
had previously been a professor and dean of the College of Allied
Health Professions at Temple University, associate coordinator
of the Allied Health Program Development Project in Minority
Institutions for the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities, and director of the Allied Health Occupations Program
at the Indiana University School of Medicine. |
