General administrative support for departments
Daily administration, including actions for purchasing and hiring funded by sponsors, is supported by departmental administrators. Departmental administrators report to the department chair. Policy or issues involving non-research-specific administration should be sent to the director of business affairs for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
