#40041 RECORDS OF THE OFFICE OF ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE PROVOST FOR EDUCATIONAL AND SUPPORT SERVICES (Marianne K. Smythe/Carol Reuss) in the University Archives and Records Service Wilson Library University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill CB 3926 Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514-8890 11/95 11/97 11/98 The position of Assistant/Associate Provost for Educational and Support Services began in 1985 with the appointment of Marianne K. Smythe as Acting Assistant Provost. The responsibilities of the position included oversight of several Academic Affairs units that had previously reported directly to the Provost. Initially these included the Division of Extension and Continuing Education (later renamed Division of Continuing Education), the North Carolina Botanical Garden, the Ackland Art Museum, the Institute for Research in Social Science, the Center for Urban and Regional Studies (which became part of the Dept. of City and Regional Planning in 1988), the Morehead Planetarium, the Highway Safety Research Center, and the Media and Instructional Support Center (disbanded in 1986). In addition to supervising these units, the Assistant Provost acted as the Provost's representative on several University committees and task forces, including the Minority Task Force, which was concerned with undergraduate recruitment. Carol Reuss succeeded Smythe as Assistant Provost on July 1, 1987. In November 1988, the title of her position was changed to Associate Provost for Educational and Support Services to reflect Chancellor Paul Hardin's redefinition of the Office of Provost. Also around this time, administrative responsibility for the new National Center for the Paideia Program was assigned to the position. Effective September 1, 1990, however, the Paideia Program was moved to the School of Education. In December 1990, the Institute for Research in Social Science and the Highway Safety Research Center began reporting to the Associate Provost and Dean of Research. (Still later the Highway Safety Research Center moved to the Division of Health Affairs.) Carol Reuss continued as Associate Provost for Educational and Support Services until July 1, 1994, when she was succeeded by Marilyn V. Yarbrough. At that time, the Associate Provost had oversight of the Ackland Art Museum, Morehead Planetarium, Division of Continuing Education, Summer School, and the Center for Teaching and Learning. She also has responsibilities involving space allocation, quality improvement strategies, the reaccreditation process, and new public service initiatives. The records currently in the University Archives, however, deal primarily with the activities of Smythe and Reuss through 1992 and do not reflect more recent changes in the Associate Provost's responsibilities. Related files will be found in the Records of the Office of the Provost in the University Archives.
