Under interim President Bok, Hyman began to share some of Bok’s presidential responsibilities, including chairing many ad hoc tenure committees and fundraising duties. Since 2001, the Office of the Provost has doubled in size—not for the sake of increased bureaucracy, but because the roles and abilities of the office increased so significantly under Hyman’s leadership.
