A career in academia spanning over 16 years has led Haroon Sahotra to his new role in the Office of Faculty Affairs. 

Following a stint serving as the director of the Teaching and Learning Commons, Sahotra is stepping into the role of associate vice provost of faculty affairs to support faculty success and cultivate a more supportive campus community. The role was previously held by David G. Schwartz, who transitioned into the position of ombuds in 2021.

Working alongside Gary Totten, the vice provost of faculty affairs, Sahotra will play a crucial role in refining university policies and procedures that impact faculty work while also promoting initiatives that enhance teaching, research, and service. By working closely with faculty across all disciplines, Sahotra aims to create a more supportive and collaborative environment that empowers faculty to excel in their roles and contribute significantly to the university’s academic reputation.

“Haroon’s experience and a strong commitment to faculty success is invaluable,” Totten said. “We have a shared vision for supporting faculty excellence and ensuring that UNLV remains at the forefront of innovations in research and teaching.”

After dedicating nearly two decades to UNLV, Sahotra is prepared to tackle the challenges faculty face and create long-term and sustainable solutions that prioritize faculty needs.
