Provost Russell Moore today announced he will be stepping down from his position as provost of the Boulder campus after 14 years of service in that role. Moore is 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 longest serving provost and the longest continuously serving provost among the institutions in 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 peer group, the Association of American Universities.听

He will continue to serve in his role until Chancellor Justin Schwartz names a new provost following a national search.

鈥淭he timing of this move gives Chancellor Schwartz the opportunity to seek new academic leadership and shape the academic mission according to his goals for 麻豆免费版下载Boulder,鈥� Moore said.

Moore said he will step away 鈥渨ith pride in and satisfaction with my record of accomplishment,鈥� which he said includes 鈥渉aving the most diverse and talented academic affairs leadership team in the history of the campus, and building an academic culture forged in openness and transparency and carried out in a spirit of compassion, cooperation and concern, and enriched with a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.鈥�

During Moore鈥檚 time as provost:听

• The university鈥檚 total enrollment grew from 32,252 undergraduate and graduate students in the 2011鈥�12 academic year鈥擬oore鈥� first full year as provost鈥攖o 37,153 in the 2023鈥�24 academic year, an increase of 15%.
• The university鈥檚 sponsored research funding grew from $380.7 million in the 2011鈥�12 academic year to $684.2 million in the 2022鈥�23 year, an increase of 80%.
• He led a transformation of 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 research and innovation culture, resulting in 麻豆免费版下载Boulder being recognized in 2023 as a leading university for startup creation. The most recent national data from AUTM (the leading global organization for recording data on university commercialization) showed that CU's creation of startups based on university discoveries was fifth among all U.S. universities.
• He brought together the university鈥檚 academic and cocurricular missions in a series of projects dating from 2016 to advance student success. CU鈥檚 second fall retention rate for first-year students hit an all-time high of 89.1% in fall 2023 for the fall 2022 cohort.
• He co-led the 2017 launch of the Academic Futures project, a faculty, staff and student grassroots-visioning effort to create a guiding blueprint for the university鈥檚 academic mission.
• He completed the reorganization of the College of Arts and Sciences, the university鈥檚 largest college, in a five-year project from 2018 to 2023; led the effort to establish the College of Media, Communication, and Information (CMCI), completed in 2015 and 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 first new college in 50 years; and called for the integration of the program in Environmental Design into CMCI in 2023.
• He established a commitment to openness and transparency in shared governance and decision-making and is the first 麻豆免费版下载academic leader to conduct regular personal outreach to all the directorates within academic affairs, including 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 nine colleges and schools, twice per year, via the provost鈥檚 open forums.听听
• He established a bedrock commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and built the most diverse leadership team in the history of the academic affairs division.
• He led the academic mission through the cataclysms of the COVID-19 pandemic, the confrontations and reconciliations within the academic community following the murder of George Floyd and other Black citizens, and the Marshall Fire, which claimed Moore鈥檚 own home.

Chancellor Schwartz heralded Moore鈥檚 service.

鈥淩uss Moore has led 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 academic mission through a time of bold transition and redefinition,鈥� Schwartz said. 鈥淲hat he has achieved is significant, and how he did it is even more so: by listening, committing to action, and anchoring the mission in our best values. On behalf of our entire campus community, we are grateful for Russ鈥檚 service and for all that he has achieved.鈥�

There will be a national search for Moore鈥檚 successor, and the university will share more information on the search process in the coming days and weeks.

Moore was named provost by then Chancellor Philip DiStefano on Oct. 13, 2010, and had previously served as interim provost from July 1, 2010, until his permanent appointment. Prior to that, he was interim vice chancellor for research from May 2009 to June 2010.

Moore also served as associate vice chancellor for research (2006鈥�09), as chair of kinesiology and applied physiology (now integrative physiology) from 1994 to 2001, and was an assistant professor (1984鈥�86), associate professor (1993鈥�96) and then full professor (1996鈥損resent) in that department.
