Role of the Provost Executive Group

Overall policy-making responsibility for the administration of USG is vested in the Provost Executive Group (PEG). The PEG is chaired by the USM Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs and is composed of the provosts from academic partners offering their programs at USG. The responsibilities of the PEG include:

  • Review and approve academic policy proposals from the Academic Planning Advisory Committee.
  • Approve the annual budget and submit it to the USM.
  • Approve new academic programs.
  • Review all recommendations for student fees before forwarding to the University System of Maryland Board of Regents.
  • Approve charges to Participating Institutions.
  • Determine the scope and character of student and ancillary services at the USG within the constraints of resources in the approved annual budget.
  • Ensure that services and facilities at USG conform to the standards of the Maryland Higher Education Commission and appropriate accrediting authorities.
