      History

      The Provost and Vice-President, Academic Affairs is the University senior academic officer and provides leadership to the faculty deans and the academic support units, such as the academic departments, research centres and laboratories. The position of Vice-Rector, Academic was established on August 10, 1973, with the adoption by the Board of Governors of By-Law “D” which established the governing and administrative structure of the coming new university, Concordia University. Jack Bordan, who had then been Vice-Principal, Academic of Sir George Williams University, became the first Vice-Rector, Academic of the new institution. For almost a decade at Concordia, there was an additional Vice-Rector, Academic position for Arts and Science, from May 1977 to April 1985, a position held by Russell Breen. The merging of the two Vice-Rector, Academic portfolios into one occurred with a reorganization of the University senior administration adopted by the Board of Governors in Fall 1984. In 1996, in the context of another reorganization of the senior administrative structure and with the discontinuation of the position Associate Vice-Rector, Academic (Research), the Vice-Rector, Academic assumed direct responsibility for the research portfolio. This was reflected in a change of title from Vice-Rector, Academic to Provost and Vice-Rector, Research. In June 2002, the title was again amended to that of Provost, with the establishment of the position of Vice-Provost Research - which was filled in 2003 -, a position reporting directly to the Provost. The English-language title of Provost was changed to Provost and Vice-President, Academic Affairs by the Board of Governors in October 2004.
