The University of Colorado Boulder announced Friday that Provost Russell Moore is stepping down after 14 years in the role.

Moore will continue in the role until Chancellor Justin Schwartz names a new provost following a national search.

“The timing of this move gives Chancellor Schwartz the opportunity to seek new academic leadership and shape the academic mission according to his goals for CU Boulder,” Moore said in a release.

There will be a national search for Moore’s successor, and the university will share more information on the search process in the coming weeks.

“Russ Moore has led CU Boulder’s academic mission through a time of bold transition and redefinition,” Schwartz said in the release. “What he has achieved is significant, and how he did it is even more so: by listening, committing to action, and anchoring the mission in our best values. On behalf of our entire campus community, we are grateful for Russ’s service and for all that he has achieved.”

Moore was named provost by former Chancellor Phil DiStefano in 2010.

He makes $409,121 a year, according to fiscal year 2024 salary data.

Moore was the associate vice chancellor for research from 2006 to 2009. He’s also been the chair of kinesiology and applied physiology, now integrative physiology, and a professor.

Moore is CU Boulder’s longest serving provost and the longest continuously serving provost among the institutions in CU Boulder’s peer group, the Association of American Universities.
