Our Philosophy
Reporting to the Provost and the Board, the Office of the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) is the University’s risk function, and it develops and implements the University Risk Management Framework. The risk function is headed by the CRO who works directly with the Secretary’s Office and reports directly to the Provost and the Audit Committee.
