Welcome
Welcome to the Office of the Vice-Provost (Academic Planning, Policy, and Faculty). The Vice-Provost works with Deans on academic planning and budgetary matters and develops operational policy to support that planning.
This portfolio also contains the Office of Faculty Relations and the Office of Recruitment for academic staff and is responsible for providing expert advice, support, and leadership on matters relating to Western’s faculty (unionized and non-unionized) and librarians and archivists. We are responsible for the negotiation and the implementation of collective agreements and policies and we work with departments, schools, libraries, and faculties to attract exceptional faculty and librarians and archivists to Western. Our team provides the necessary resources for academic and administrative leaders at Western to support academic excellence.
