The
Springtime of our Discontent
Were last
semester's debates on the future of the arts and sciences a turning
point?
For
practical and educational and deeply ideological reasons, I think
the college has to remain the crown jewel for the university.
—Harvey
Klehr, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Politics and History
I
felt as if the college had too hallowed a place in the university's
collective imagination.
—Judith
Miller, Associate Professor of History

Emory College Dean Bobby Paul

a Crossroads: The future of graduate education at Emory

Brown University
The Dean of the College, the Dean of the
Graduate School and Research, and the Dean of the Faculty all
report to the Executive Vice President and Provost, who is responsible
for all academic and budgetary functions of the college, the graduate
school, and the medical school, including the academic functions
of departments, interdisciplinary programs, academic centers,
and institutes.
Columbia University
The Dean of the Graduate School of Arts
and Sciences and the Dean of Columbia College report to the Vice
President of the Arts and Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of
Arts and Sciences. That vice president, in turn, reports to the
Provost and Dean of Faculties.
Duke University
Three academic deans—the Dean of the
Humanities and Social Sciences, the Dean of the Natural Sciences,
and the Dean of Trinity College—report to the Dean of the
Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Vice-Provost for Undergraduate
Education, who oversees long-range planning for arts and sciences,
senior faculty recruitment, faculty retention, space allocation,
and fund-raising. The deans of the humanities and social sciences
and of the natural sciences have budgetary supervision in their
areas and assist the dean of the faculty in faculty personnel
reviews. The graduate school dean, like the dean of the faculty,
reports to the provost.
Harvard University
The Dean of the Graduate School of the Arts
and Sciences, the Dean of Harvard College, the Dean of the School
of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the Dean of the Division
of Continuing Education all report to the Dean of the Faculty
of Arts and Sciences, who reports to the president.
Stanford University
Five academic associate deans oversee the
humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, undergraduate studies,
and faculty affairs, and they report to the Dean of the School
of Humanities and Sciences. There is no dean of graduate studies;
the associate deans of the three disciplinary areas manage graduate
education in their respective departments. An associate dean in
the Office of the Dean of Research and Graduate Policy is responsible
for university-wide graduate education policy.
