Provost keeps University on track
Provost Dick Hill looks up from the budget book
with much concern, painting a worse-case scenario
of the University handling its most recent budget
cuts.
But he quickly adds that the University will cope
with the cuts and still maintain quality educational
programs.
One of Hill's primary duties as provost and vice
president of academic affairs is to deal with the
budget — and lately that has meant cuts.
While he is struggling to balance the needs of the
University against the lack of money. Hill never loses
sight of the real goal of the University.
"The purpose of the University is the creation
and dissemination of knowledge," Hill says. "Ideally
I should facilitate students and faculty to achieve that,
purpose."
Hill says he strives to maintain the quality of the
faculty, programs and curriculum at the University.
Although lately his time has been occupied with
budget-related problems, he is closely involved with
promotion and tenure of faculty and works with the
development of new programs.
Since coming to the University in 1969 as a
sociology professor, Hill has served as chairer of that
department, director of the Institute for Social
Science Research and as dean of the School of Com
munity Service and Public Affairs. He became acting
provost in 1980 and was named to that position per
manently in 1981.

Over the next biennium, Hill says he is commit
ted to retaining the level of quality the University has
achieved so far.
"We will do everything we can to defend our
budget, increase our efforts to attract students of
high quality and carefully monitor expenditures."
Williams knows his way around
Dan Williams is having fun.
But being a University vice presi
dent is supposed to be grim,
especially in times of a budget
cuts.
"I must not understand my
job," he laughs.
Williams was appointed vice
president for administration at
i
the beginning of June, after a na
tional search to fill the position
when Ray Hawk retired.
"I've got a different window
on the University than before,"
says Williams, who was formerly
the University housing director.
Williams is responsible for ad
ministrative areas ranging from
the physical plant to personnel
offices to the student health
center. It was also recently
decided the athletic department
would be fall under his jurisdic
tion. Previously, the athletic
director reported to the vice
president for University
relations.
"The primary function of a
University is instruction and
research," he says. "My job is to
see to it people can do those
things effectively."
Effective management
becomes even more important
when resources are scarce,
Williams says. He is giving
"everything" a fresh look to
make sure it is working as effi
ciently as possible.
"If we don't make changes it
will be because we consciously
decide not to," he says.
Before coming to the Universi
ty, Williams was an associate
dean and director of the student
union at Stanford University. He
graduated from the University in
1962 and was ASUO president in
1961-62.
"I know my way around
Oregon," he says. "I have a feel
ing for the character of the
University."
