New provost announced

Posted: 5/7/08

Dr. Scott A. Bass will be AU's next provost, AU President Neil Kerwin announced in an e-mail Wednesday.

Bass is currently vice president for research and graduate school dean at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, The Eagle previously reported.

The announcement came after a nationwide search that eventually narrowed down to four finalists, including Interim Provost Ivy Broder.

Kerwin lauded Bass' qualifications in the e-mail.

"Dr. Bass has developed an impressive knowledge of contemporary higher education through his work at UMBC and in previous positions," he said.

Bass will start July 1, according to the e-mail.
