C.U. Administration Expands With New Appointments

Provost Biddy Martin’s role has finally expanded beyond her means. Last week, Martin appointed David Harris, vice provost for the social sciences, to the new position of Deputy Provost and promoted Robert Buhrman to Vice Provost of Research.

The role of Deputy Provost is essentially an aide to the Provost, but this is a job that has never been filled.

“It’s a new position at Cornell. To understand what’s going on you have to take a step back and look at the President and the Provost,” Harris said.

Martin explained the necessity of the new appointment, mentioning her growing responsibilities.
