Faculty Advancement

Mission

The primary mission of the Office of the Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement is to ensure that the UW recruits, promotes and retains an excellent and diverse faculty. Working within the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity, and in direct consultation with the Office of the Provost, Fraga works on both individual faculty cases and on institutional policy issues. In addition, he meets regularly with deans, department chairs, and other academic leaders across the three UW campuses to disseminate best practices for conducting inclusive searches and fostering collegial environments.

The Office of Faculty Advancement supports faculty research through the Diversity Research Institute (DRI).  By working closely with departments and research centers on campus, the DRI aims to develop a community of scholars whose research focuses on diversity, social justice, and institutional transformation. The DRI hosts an annual conference, an invited lecture series and other related events.
