The future of The New School will be shaped by the core values that have defined our past: academic freedom, tolerance, and experimentation. Our leadership team brings this mission to life.
With a commitment to providing excellent service to students and advancing a rigorous academic environment, the leaders of our university ensure that we adapt and respond to contemporary issues, create a more inclusive community, and foster creativity and collaboration among students.
The President’s Leadership Team works in alignment with the President to oversee institutional planning, policy, and decision making in service of The New School’s academic mission and operational resilience. As the officers of the university, this group sets a tone of innovation, integrity, excellence, and service across all university work.
The university's deans are the leaders of the academic programs, faculty, and students in their schools and colleges and partners in setting the university’s overall academic vision and strategy. Individually, they are scholars and leaders in their fields. Together, they work closely with the Provost to advance academic excellence, the highest standards for academic governance, and robust transdisciplinary collaboration across all of The New School's programs.
The academic leaders who make up the Faculty Senate are drawn from across our university. They meet regularly to explore and examine how the university can continue to grow and fulfill its mission as a creative, innovative, and socially engaged institution.
The Staff Senate helps foster open communication on the behalf of all staff to administration, faculty, and students. These staff leaders are a part of the ongoing dialog about the future of The New School, giving advice and input on initiatives that affect the university.
The Student Senate is made up of students who embody the creative and intellectual energy of The New School. Drawn from all of our schools, these students play an active role in all elements of campus life, representing the voice of students on important topics and key initiatives with faculty and administration.
The New School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
