Terry Martin will resign as University of Arkansas provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs on June 30, 2025. UA officials announced the details in a news release on Friday (May 31).

Martin, a UA administrator and faculty member for 40 years, plans to return to a full-time faculty position at the UA as a professor of electrical engineering.

“Even though I am stepping down, I remain deeply committed to the University of Arkansas and its land-grant mission,” Martin said. “I know that the University of Arkansas will continue to thrive, change the lives of students, and make meaningful contributions to Arkansas and the world under Chancellor Robinson’s exceptional leadership.”

Martin was named provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs in November 2022. He held the jobs on an interim basis before that.

“It has been an honor, a privilege and the highlight of my 40-year career to serve the University of Arkansas as provost,” Martin said. “I’m grateful to Chancellor [Charles] Robinson, the Board of Trustees and the entire university community for their support and collaboration during my tenure as provost.”

Martin has served as senior vice provost for academic affairs, senior associate dean, associate dean, interim dean for the College of Engineering and interim and inaugural department head of biomedical engineering. He joined the University of Arkansas in 1983 as a graduate research assistant and was promoted to professor in 2002.

In the fall, the university will begin a national search to find Martin’s successor as provost. Details about the plans, timeline, and committee members will be announced over the summer.
