Paul J. D’Anieri (at right), provost at the University of California, Riverside, announced Friday that he will step down and return to a faculty role. D’Anieri has faced increasing criticism in the last month from faculty members, who say he has left them out of key budgeting and hiring decisions. In an email message to the campus, D'Anieri acknowledged the conflict. "I have come to recognize that we have significant differences in opinion on several fundamental issues, including the role of the provost in a large research university," he wrote. "These differences have made it difficult to achieve the level of unity that I believe we need to move forward on our ambitious agenda."
