👉 The term "provosts" refers to academic administrators in universities. Provosts are responsible for overseeing and managing the administration of a university, including its academic programs, student affairs, and other related areas. They typically hold positions similar to those of deans or vice-chancellors at other institutions but with more authority and responsibility within their own institution. Provestor responsibilities may include budgeting, faculty recruitment, curriculum development, and advising on admissions policies.
