Sent from the Office of the President on behalf of Leslie Leve, the chair of the provost search committee:
 

University of Oregon community members,

I am writing with an update on the University of Oregon’s search for a permanent provost and senior vice president, and to note a change to the finalists’ visit schedule. 

We have invited four finalists to come to the Eugene campus for two-day visits. As previously announced, faculty, staff, and students are invited to meet each finalist during a 45-minute open session, held both in person and on Zoom. Thank you to everyone who met with the first candidate this week.

The open sessions for the remaining three candidates are:

Mon., Feb. 26, from 3 to 3:45 p.m., EMU, Cedar and Spruce Rooms, 231, 232. 
Wed., Feb. 28, from 3 to 3:45 p.m., EMU, Cedar and Spruce Rooms, 231, 232.  
Thurs., March 7, from 3 to 3:45 p.m., Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Pape Reception Hall. 

The Zoom link and each candidate’s cover letter and curriculum vitae will be posted three days prior to the visit in a secure folder on the Office of the President’s provost search webpage.  Viewing the folder requires being logged into Microsoft 365 via Shibboleth. A member of the search committee will facilitate each session.

We again remind you not to disclose candidate names or information with anyone outside of campus to protect and respect our candidates’ privacy throughout the search. A link to a feedback survey will be posted in the secure search folder on the first day of each candidate's visit. All surveys will close on Monday, March 11. 

If you attend a session, please remember that questions should be centered on the candidate’s interest in and qualifications for the role. Questions about a candidate’s race, ethnicity, marital status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and disabilities might be construed as discriminatory and should not be asked during the interview, whether formally or informally as part of any follow-up discussion.

Thank you again for your interest and participation in this important search.
