The Provost and requesting Dean/Unit Lead will review interest responses and finalize the special assignment offer. Provost’s Office will send offer letters to faculty members, copying the requesting Dean/Unit Lead, Associate Provost or Dean (if they are not the requestor), Associate Dean, Department Head or Program Director, and Department/School APSS. The letter will include all special assignment expected contributions and reporting requirements, including the end-of-the-term report template (see below).
