Signals

⚠ 3-year fixed-term contract — not a permanent C-suite seat
⚠ vague scope — coordinates enterprise AI but academic/business units retain own accountability
✓ reports to COO with direct access to Vice-Chancellor and Board
✓ potential Pro Vice-Chancellor academic title signals institutional seriousness
