provost's

Senior academic official's

Provost's is the possessive form of provost, a high-ranking administrative official.

In universities, the provost is typically the chief academic officer, so the provost's office handles curriculum and faculty matters.

In some churches and Scottish cities, provost denotes a senior cleric or civic leader: the provost's duties, the provost's chain of office.
