Meet Academic Affairs

The Academic Affairs Council brings together the university’s college deans, the library, and key administrative offices that support faculty, staff, and students. In collaboration with the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Amy Sueyoshi, the council leads the planning, development, implementation, and continuous improvement of academic programs, policies, and support structures. It advances academic excellence and equity by overseeing faculty hiring and promotion while strengthening high-quality teaching, learning, and research. Working in partnership with the Academic Senate and other university divisions under shared governance, the council helps sustain a vibrant and diverse academic community.
