	Provost (education) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Provost is the title of a senior academic administrator at many institutions of higher education in the United States and Canada, the equivalent of Vice-Chancellor at certain UK universites such as UCL, and the head of certain Oxbridge colleges (e.g., Worcester College, Oxford).
		At some multi-campus (generally state-run) universities, provost may be the title held by the head of branch campus, for example, the provosts of the Newark and Camden campuses of Rutgers University in New Jersey.
		"Provost" is still the style of the principals of Queen's, Oriel and Worcester Colleges at Oxford, King's College, Cambridge, and Trinity College, Dublin, and of the chairman of the governors of Eton College.

	AAU Graduate Education Report
		Graduate education in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts produces the teachers and scholars who bring the intellectual history of human thought and creative expression to their students, expanding their capacity for critical thinking by applying the lessons of the past to current problems and future challenges.
		Graduate education across all academic disciplines is the principal source of the faculties of the country's colleges and universities.
		The view emerging from these national and institutional examinations of graduate education is that the balance between institutional and departmental benefits from and responsibilities for graduate education has in many cases shifted too far in the direction of institutional and departmental benefits, to the detriment of graduate students and programs.

	Education Update - What’s a “Provost”?
		A provost was the administrative official charged with policy and procedures oversight, the person who made sure that the university carried out its curricular duties with proper regard for theological and moral imperatives.
		Of course, he notes, different schools make their own arrangements, but where there is a provost that person is typically the number two officer, after the president, and acts for the president in his stead.
		At small liberal arts colleges such as MMC where there is no provost, the second in command tends to be the Academic Vice President who is the chief academic officer (CAO), a kind of first among equals where there are other vice presidents (Administration, Student Affairs, Institutional Development).
