The search is under way for a successor for Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Jack Hamilton.
Hamilton took the two-year appointment in June 2010 when he was promoted from his role as dean of the Manship School of Mass Communication.
The University needs to find a candidate who “wants the job permanently,” Hamilton said. Though he is not on the search committee for his replacement, Hamilton said he will be paying close attention to his prospective successor.
“My intention at the moment is to stay on the Manship School faculty,” Hamilton said about what he will do once his term ends. He added that he is working on a book about the history of the Committee on Public Information with Bob Mann, Manship School political communications professor.
The provost search committee is composed of 18 people, mainly University administrators and professors, and will be chaired by Thomas Klei, Interim Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development.
