The Provost's Distance Education Council

The Provost's Distance Education Council

The Iowa State University Strategic Plan of 2000-2005 stated that Iowa State would expand targeted distance learning degree programs in areas of Iowa State's strengths. The strategy required oversight and the development of policies and procedures that facilitated and promoted such an expansion effort. In April 2001 Provost Rollin Richmond established the Provost's Distance Education Council. The Distance Education Council remains active today.

This council provides institutional leadership in distance education policy and strategy, advises the President and Provost on all matters related to distance education. The Council's purview of interest and activity is by design broad: distance education policies and procedures; acquisition and development of distance education technology; staffing, budgeting and planning; and informing the Iowa State community on matters related to distance education. Membership is intended to reflect the entire University.

About the Council

The Distance Education Council meets the fourth Tuesday of each month.
