Following a 'no confidence' vote by University of Arizona faculty over campus safety, both the provost and chief are stepping down.The announcement comes after a year of reckoning with campus safety at the University of Arizona.
Kathryn Palmer After intense criticism of the University of Arizona administration's management of campus safety, both the school’s provost and police chief are stepping down.
People are also reading… Folks, provost since 2019, who received $497,490 a year in that role, will continue working for the UA to establish a Center for Semiconducting Manufacturing and as a faculty member in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Robbins said. When the UA attempted to discredit a faculty-led report criticizing UAPD’s handling of public safety, the police chief used the department’s February 2023 newsletter to speak against the faculty report.
Olson, a 31-year law enforcement veteran who previously served as a UAPD officer, “will work closely with the campus’ Chief Safety Officer, Steve Patterson, who reports directly to me,” Robbins said. • Facilities Management will move to a dual-reporting structure, connected to both its current Business Affairs home as well as the new Office of Public Safety. Facilities Management is led by Associate Vice President Chris Kopach, who also will continue to serve as Incident Command System commander.
“Focused attention remains on enhancing the capabilities of TAMT both to intake community input and to evaluate and act upon reports of concerning behavior and threatening or potentially violent situations,” Robbins wrote in a memo. “With a TAMT charter now in place and TAMT members contributing to this important campus function, I would like to remind everyone to report any threatening or concerning incidents through the Threat Assessment and Management Team website.
Moreover, Robbins is moving the human resources department under the oversight of the Executive Office of the President, effective July 1. Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Helena Rodrigues will report directly to Robbins. “Human Resources will continue to engage colleagues across the University’s campuses and within its colleges to foster a culture consistent with our shared values," Robbins said of the change.
