The Provost is Dartmouth's chief academic officer and chief budget officer, directly responsible for overseeing the overall academic integrity of the entire institution and for those operations transcending the work of a single faculty.
Dartmouth filled some key positions in January in the Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of Government and Community Relations.
Freedom of expression and dissent is protected by Dartmouth regulations. Dartmouth prizes and defends the right of free speech and the freedom of the individual to make their own disclosures.
