management of UH Mānoa is the responsibility of the Provost.
=== University of Hawaiʻi president (pre-1965) ===
When UH began as the College of Hawaiʻi, Willis T. Pope served as acting dean from 1907 to 1908, despite declining the title of "acting president." Since that initial period, the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has always been led by a president, chancellor, or provost, including interim or acting roles.
