A search is underway for the university's new vice-president finance and operations (VPFO), under procedures established by the university's board of governors.
Current VPFO Jack Falk has announced that he intends to step down from the position, effective Sept. 1. He assumed the position in 1999.
The search committee, which is structured under board policy, has begun its work.
The committee, which is being assisted by Dan Birch of Janet Wright & Associates Inc., is responsible for developing a position profile, establishing selection criteria, advertising the position, seeking the names of suitable candidates, identifying and interviewing candidates, and recommending a candidate to the president. The board of governors makes the appointment decision.
To assist it in the development of a position profile, the committee is seeking input from the university community. A letter from UVic president and committee chair Dr. David Turpin inviting responses to a number of questions is posted at web.uvic.ca/univsec/. The website also lists the search committee membership.
The vice-president finance and operations is responsible for providing strategic and operational leadership to the university in financial planning and services, human resources, campus planning, computing services, campus security and facilities management. The position also plays a key role with the university's foundations and in the management of its off-campus properties.
