Richard Settersten Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs
Rick Settersten, Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs 

I am passionate about faculty affairs because I love university life and everything about being a professor – research and writing, teaching and mentoring, and serving my profession.

As Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, my team and I get to do things that help our faculty thrive.   

I oversee the University’s initiatives related to building and supporting an outstanding and diverse faculty; fostering the success of our academic leaders; and ensuring clear and just academic policies and procedures, including promotion and tenure, resolving personnel matters, and collaborating on faculty labor relations. Shared governance is a hallmark of my approach and the work of our office.

I arrived at Oregon State University in 2006 as Professor of Human Development and Family Studies and in 2021 was honored with the title of University Distinguished Professor. I have had the privilege of being the founding director of the Hallie E. Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families, and also served as head of the School of Social and Behavioral Health Sciences in the College of Health. If you’d like to know more about me, see my faculty website.

Katheryn Yetter University Policy and Standards Specialist
Katheryn Yetter, University Policy and Standards Specialist 

I consult with unit leaders and other stakeholders to develop and maintain our University Policies and Standards, which are published in the University Policy and Standards Manual. These governance documents express the goals, values, and culture of the university and collectively, provide the authority and guidance that is required to achieve the university’s mission, and outline the relevant responsibilities to the university community.  

Before joining Oregon State University in April 2022, I served as the associate provost for academic affairs and was a member of the faculty at The National Judicial College. I am an active member of the Oregon State Bar and hold a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Willamette University College of Law and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Oregon.  

Contact me with questions about:  

  • Best practices in drafting University Policies, University Standards, unit rules, and procedures.  
  • Ideas you may have for new University Policies or Standards, or suggestions for revising or retiring existing ones.  
  • How to apply existing policies to factual scenarios to analyze impact.  
  • Whether the university has a University Policy or Standard on a particular subject, or whether there is other governance that might help to guide decision-making.
