USF extends provost search
November 17, 2022 - The University of South Florida is starting anew after a six-month national search for a new provost failed to yield “the best possible fit with the right vision and experience.” President Rhea Law made the announcement in a Wednesday email. An 18-member search committee named four finalists in October and the candidates participated in subsequent interviews and campus visits. Interim provost Eric Eisenberg was among the finalists but Law asked him to withdraw and assume the newly created leadership position of senior vice president of university-community partnerships.
