Office of the Provost

As chief academic officers, the provosts of the Touro University System work closely with the president, deans, and academic and administrative leaders to maintain our academic integrity, advance our education goals, and support faculty development. The Provosts provide leadership, policy formation, and guidance for faculty and academic programs. In addition, the office oversees Touro’s research enterprises and budget planning, curriculum development, and personnel management for the academic divisions.
