The Chief Administrative Officers (CAO) Group, convened by the Assistant Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief of Staff to the Provost, serves as a regular forum for senior administrative leaders of Schools and Colleges to address strategic and operational issues that impact the academic enterprise. The CAO Group mirrors the Council of Deans in terms of membership. The CAO Group helps to maintain communication and coordination amongst the Schools and Colleges as well as between the schools/colleges and central administrative units, providing a forum for CAOs to impact approaches for addressing critical administrative issues.
