Founded in 1926 as the South Jersey Law School, and joining Rutgers
in 1950, Rutgers University–Camden is a leader in education and
research. Rutgers–Camden enrolls roughly 6,700 undergraduate and
graduate students, employs more than 1,300 faculty and staff, and
has more than 55,000 alumni. The institution is located in the
University District of Camden, a city nationally known for its
determination and resilience, in the heart of the metro
Philadelphia region. An R2 University, Rutgers University–Camden
boasts a unique student body, 25 percent of whom are
first-generation students and more than 50 percent are from
underrepresented racial or ethnic backgrounds, classifying them as
a Minority Serving Institution. Rutgers University-Camden is home
to the following schools and colleges: The College of Arts and
Sciences and the Graduate School, the School of Business, the
School of Nursing, the School of Social Work, and Rutgers Law
School with locations in Camden and Newark, NJ.
Reporting directly to the Rutgers University–Camden Chancellor and
a member of the Chancellor’s executive leadership team, the Provost
is the Chief Academic Officer, providing leadership and vision in
planning, developing, and implementing academic programs and
ensuring the quality and growth of educational offerings and
academic support functions. The Provost is the top advisor to the
Chancellor on academic matters and is responsible for assessment
and oversight of instructional programs and academic policies. The
Provost works in conjunction with the Chancellor to enhance the
effectiveness in the academic and research reputations of Rutgers
University–Camden.
The Provost oversees executive functions and duties of the deans of
the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FASC), School of Business–Camden
(SBC), the School of Nursing–Camden (SNC), as well as the co-Dean
of the Rutgers School of Law. The Provost also works to develop
unit-specific priorities and plans that are aligned with the
strategic direction of the campus at large. In addition, the
Provost develops strategies that will lead to student retention,
progression, and completion of degree requirements, as well as the
implementation of initiatives that advance scholarly and creative
pursuits among faculty, students, and post-doctoral fellows.
The next Provost will embody Rutgers University–Camden’s core
values, including the highest levels of integrity and empathy; a
dedication to growing and fostering a vibrant, diverse, and
inclusive community; a respect for – and support of – students,
faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and community members; a
passion for creating opportunity and accessibility in education;
innovative approaches to supporting scholarship and securing
extramural funding; and the clarity of vision and leadership to
address the challenges and opportunities facing higher education in
the decades to come.
The ideal candidate will have substantive fiscal and personnel
management experience and a strong business acumen (knowledge of
the RCM-budgetary model is helpful); a high level of cultural
competency and a demonstrated commitment to the values of
diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, and creating a
beloved community; a distinguished record of scholarly publications
and teaching exhibiting exemplary academic and pedagogical
excellence; a demonstrated commitment to fostering cross-unit
collaboration and interdisciplinary scholarship; experience with
national accrediting bodies; a foundational understanding of – and
deep respect for – shared governance and faculty and student
engagement; and a record of accomplishment engaging with and
supporting local and regional urban communities.
