Office
of the Provost
The Office of the Provost also coordinates
special projects designed to enrich the learning environment
for faculty, students, and staff at Rice. In spring, 1997,
a committee chaired by the Provost completed work on the first
comprehensive Strategic
Plan for the University, which then became the basis for
an implementation
plan for Rice. Another task force compiled a Library
Strategic Plan, which is now being implemented.
In 1996, the Office of the Provost began a multi-year
cycle of divisional reviews. These reviews bring to Rice distinguished
scholars and experts from around the country to assess the academic
programs of the University, to review the strategic direction of the
eight academic schools at Rice, and to provide recommendations on
how to improve the instructional and research agenda. To date, the
Jesse H. Jones
Graduate School of Management, the George
R. Brown School of Engineering, the Wiess
School of Natural Sciences, and the School
of Continuing Studies have undergone divisional review.
Finally, the Office of the Provost coordinated an
international effort with the city of Bremen and University of Bremen
in Germany to establish a International
University Bremen as a private, residential, research university
in that city.
