USC Names David Madigan Provost and Megan Jordan Chief Communications Officer
Madigan will oversee 18 schools and academic units as USC faces a more than $200 million deficit and a faculty union drive, officials said.
- On Wednesday, USC President Beong-Soo Kim announced David Madigan as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, while permanently appointing Megan Jordan as senior vice president and chief communications officer.
- Madigan arrives after USC addressed a deficit of more than $200 million through hiring freezes, roughly 1,000 worker layoffs, merit raise eliminations, and asset sales to stabilize finances.
- Previously provost at Northeastern University, Madigan is a statistics scholar who holds the Shelly and Ofer Nemirovsky Provost's Chair beginning October 13; Jordan, a USC alumna, has served as interim communications chief since January.
- Madigan succeeds Andrew Guzman, who returns to the Gould School of Law faculty, as USC manages an ongoing faculty union drive and seeks to restore public confidence in higher education.
- Both leaders confront Trump administration pressures on research funding and international enrollment while unifying communications across 23 schools and integrating artificial intelligence into teaching and research operations.
