Former provost Charlotte Yates has been appointed as president and vice-chancellor of the University for an interim two-year term and has made the decision not to return to her former role when that term ends. In keeping with the Policy on University Appointments, the process for establishing a Provost Search Committee will commence to ensure the timely appointment of a successor.

Nominations are now open for faculty, staff and student seats on the Provost Selection Committee. More information, the Call for Nominations – including full details on eligibility – and the nomination form are available on the University Secretariat website.

Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Equity-seeking groups within our community experience barriers to full participation. It is imperative that equity and inclusion be embedded throughout our decision-making processes. As such, membership of the committee shall reflect diversity as per the Modus Operandi, including equity-seeking groups and others who contribute to the diversity of the committee.

Nominations are due September 18, 2020 at noon. Questions about the search process can be directed to the University Secretary at univsec@uoguelph.ca.
