University of Georgia President-elect Jere Morehead has announced plans to restructure the school's senior administration.

In a release Monday, Morehead said the reorganization, scheduled to take effect July 1, is intended to increase the amount of information that flows directly to and from his office.

The reorganization calls for the school's senior vice president to serve as senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. The vice presidents for instruction, research, public service and outreach, student affairs and information technology will report to the provost. Deans of the university's respective schools and colleges will also report to the provost.

The university's vice presidents for finance and administration, development and alumni relations will report to Morehead. The vice presidents for government relations and public affairs will also report to Morehead.
