In line with recommendations and best practice, the role of the Provost was expanded to include oversight of the operating budget, strategic planning, and academic relations with CUASA, CUPE 4600 Units 1 and 2, and PSAC 77000. We are now implementing organizational changes in our office to reflect these new responsibilities, effective July 1, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"office-of-the-deputy-provost-academic-operations-and-planning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Office of the Deputy Provost (Academic Operations and Planning)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Office of the Deputy Provost (Academic Operations and Planning) will provide a cohesive approach to academic operations and planning, including academic relations. The office will be led by <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/2019\/five-outstanding-carleton-leaders\/\">Lorraine Dyke, who was recently appointed Deputy Provost (Academic Operations and Planning)<\/a>. She will be supported by the academic labour relations professional services staff who have moved from Human Resources and by Faculty Affairs staff, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Amy Wyse, Director, Labour Relations (Academic)<\/li><li>Catarina Barroso, Labour Relations Officer (Academic)<\/li><li>Norah Vollmer, Manager, Faculty Affairs<\/li><li>Faculty Systems Functional Analyst (Greg Skazyk until July 19)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Amy has recently been appointed Director, Labour Relations (Academic) after having served in an acting capacity in the role for the past few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greg\u2019s last day at Carleton will be July 19, as he is relocating to Prince Edward Island. We wish him all the best and thank him for his contributions to the Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) over the last four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lorraine will be supported by a planning manager. On August 6, we will welcome Justin Mihalic into this position. Justin is currently the budget manager in the Office of the Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic) at Queen\u2019s University. Justin\u2019s portfolio at Carleton will include both budgeting and strategic planning and he will work closely with the Resource Planning Committee Chairs and the Provost\u2019s Budget Working Group to facilitate the budget planning cycle for the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"other-changes-in-the-office-of-the-provost-and-vice-president-academic\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other changes in the Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Assistant Vice-President (Academic) <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/provost\/2019\/dwight-deugo-appointed-vpavpa\/\">Dwight Deugo was recently appointed Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (Academic)<\/a>.
