DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND CAMPUS/UCDMC ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

RE: Appointment of Vice Provost-Academic Personnel

I am pleased to announce that Professor Barry Klein has accepted my
invitation to serve as Vice Provost--Academic Personnel. His appointment
will be effective July 1, 1998, pending Regental approval at the June
meeting. As Vice Provost-Academic Personnel, he will be responsible for
academic personnel policy and process, grievance procedures, affirmative
action, faculty development, and management training for academic leaders
and supervisors.

Professor Klein is a highly accomplished faculty member and has served with
distinction as chair of the Department of Physics at UC Davis since 1992.
During his tenure as chair he has led a number of exceptionally successful
faculty recruitments. That experience, combined with his strong and
demonstrated commitment to diversity, will serve UC Davis extremely well
during the next several years as the campus recruits for the more than 500
faculty positions to be filled between now and 2005-06.

Chancellor Vanderhoef and I are very grateful to Professor Harvey Himelfarb
who has served with distinction on an interim basis in the Vice Provost's
position, not just once, but twice, in the past four years.

Please join me in welcoming Professor Klein to his new role.

Sincerely,

Robert D. Grey 
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
