Washington State University Provost Elizabeth Chilton has accepted a new dual role to become the first chancellor of the Pullman campus.
The new administrative structure falls under president kirk Schulz’s OneWSU initiative. In the past WSU presidents have served as the de facto chancellor for the Pullman campus. The creation of a formal Pullman chancellor will allow Schulz to focus on WSU systemwide.
Chilton will maintain her role as provost and formally add Pullman Chancellor to her duties after a one year transition is completed on July 1st. Provost is the highest-ranking academic officer at WSU. Chilton has been provost for a year.
